The wheels of justice sure do turn slowly. I wonder whether any past scammers who thought they'd gotten away with it will eventually be targeted. There are some long memories out there.

Now nwxt is to find the other ponzi operators and dump them all together on the same cell. He is "sorry". Well that can't give back all the money he took away from everyone else. Lucky for him his only going to jail. It could be worse.
