i don't understand why him pleading guilty leaves so many with the assumption that everyone else isn't going to be prosecuted.
how is he "taking the heat"? he went down for his role and the crimes he was proven to have committed. that has nothing to do with the fact that one guy obviously didn't do this alone, his own brother was the "compliance officer", his kids clearly played a role as well as his wife. i seriously doubt he is the only one who will be prosecuted.
