. . . . to the 1980s, I recall oh so clearly the savings and loan debacle. Lots of money was stolen then. In the wake of that practice run for today's most excellent theft thousands of banksters went . . . . to prison. You want a really terrific story of the people (the victims) getting their due in the aftermath of but one savings and loan crime, google up Old Court Savings and Loan to see what happened to Jefferey Levitt.

His case was one of thousands.

What a difference. Life, for some, is sooooo much easier today.
