Bernie Madoff is a perfect example. They knew Bernie was a fraud but as long as they benefited from his theft, no one cared. It wasn't until they realized he was stealing their money too, not just the rubes! He had to pay. Off to prison with him! Humiliate his wife and family! Take away his possessions (that we can find)!
