42. Who doesn't he surrender to?
Tue Aug 14, 2012, 08:01 AM

If there weren't clearer cases of participating in a "Continuing Criminal Enterprise", under the RICO statutes (which has no statute of limitations), I don't know where you would find them. You can also seize all of their assets under the statute, and let them fight for 40 years not to get them back. Just like they do to Grandma who got caught selling nickel bags of pot to supplement her catfood.

When yo only make them give back 10% of their ill-gotten gains as punishment, that's no deterrent, it's an incentive.

Seize it all, plus more, and pass out a few FRSP's. That'll work.
