From: "Mark" 

Gary B. is right, despite the media hoopla (well deserved for the perps in
this case) the fact remains that only a dozen or so executives/companies
were charged/prosecuted for engaging in fraud out of countless thousands.

The impression left though, because of that hoopla, was that all of
corporate America are crooks, which is obviously a crock, but the
impression plays good on the evening news...
