  The Matrix

  They aren't in jail for the same reason the Enron and MCI corporate gangsters aren't doing stir in a federal pen, as a yard monster's girlfriend: The Golden Rule of Capitalism. It's not complicated how it works: He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules. The two bastards responsible for "Matrix" should be forced (tortured - I don't mince words)to reveal all their secret accounts.
  
  In the unlikely event they're convicted and given prison sentences, they'll likely be allowed to plea it down to nothing. Even if convicted they will not be forced to give stolen money back as a condition for reduced prison time. In the unlikely event that they have to do stir, it will probably be a special minimum-security "white" collar crime facility. They won't have assholes stretched to the size of softballs.
  
  For scum like this, who won't be prosecuted by any agency responsible for law enforcement, there is only one punishment. Scum like this deserves immediate termination: "two in the head and one in the heart, knocks them down and keeps them dead". They won't stop until they know the terminal solution will be applied, so I say - Kill them all and let God sort out the rest.

  Just wondering ...

  ... what you (and by extension, Forbes) is alleging these people did that is illegal? So far as I know, selling someone something that can be bought cheaper elsewhere using "high-pressure" sales tactics, while certainly scummy, isn't illegal.
  
  And it certainly isn't a "scam" (in the sense of someone selling "viagra" pills that are really just sugar pills). Going bankrupt isn't illegal, or a sign that what you're doing is a "scam."

    Selling people a box that promises "unlimited broadband, landline and cell phone service with no per-minute charges," and then forcing people into long term leases, only to discover the box does NONE of what it was promised... That doesn't sound like fraud to you?
