From: "Robert G Lewis" 

So  its their fault for believing what their management and advisors told them.

its one thing to lose due to the market, its another to loose due to
misstated financials. Some of those involved should loose ALL of their
assets to repay those who lost.

I know that in some of my previous jobs ALL matching funds were placed in
company stock. I had no choice in the matter, Not my decision to make.
