Yes. Exactly.
Harmon, and Black Crayon, Obviously it should not be legal to con people out of their money, but I'm telling you to not be so quick to believe the charges that are being brought against a lot of people these days. They will obviously make them sound as bad as possible, but that doesn't make it true.
I have watched so many people that are guilty of nothing but having a lot of money, being shaken down by the government, because the prosecutors can now freeze assets before even figuring out what to charge someone with, then get them to co-operate with whatever they decide to come up with later out of fear of losing everything, and being unable to afford to hire lawyers since their accounts are frozen. Asset forfeiture has become the new source of government funding.
Do some research on this stuff guys. For example, take a look at what this group is fighting against:

P.S. Harmon, why the personal insult? Did my having a differing opinion offend you that much?
