Ripped Apart!

Just finished talking with a gentleman heading off to prison for 18 months! He just celebrated 14 years of marraige and has two small kids. He couldn't stop crying....I felt the same. One minute everything is fine and the next your world, and more impotantly your familys' is ripped apart.
This gentleman is (was) in the Mortgage industry! What was he guilty of, not reporting his "scum bag" owner of commiting "fraud"! He just didn't report it and his kids are going to be without their Dad for 18 months! The Owner has yet to be sentenced. The guy I talked to actually helped the feds with the case against the Boss, and that's what he got! No priors!
I want to clean up this industry as well, but it seems like our focus is backasswards! Spend some time getting the guys "doing " the damage, not the ones that are bystanders! Once you nail the "kingpins" than spend some time on the guys who aren't "reporting" it! By the way as far as I know this only applies to those of us "IN" the industry! But if you hear of something, feel free to report it to the FTC, your AG's office or maybe your local news station that can catch them in the act and air it in primetime!
