1. Yup...saw it on MSNBC. In the words of Steele..."You just got served."
Meh...he's an idiot thief.

2. Of course he wasn't arrested
If I had an outstanding speeding ticket I'd be in the back of a police cruiser, but this guy goes free. Must be nice to be a member of the nobility.

5. "The Government of the United States of America..."
...requests the pleasure of your presence at a hearing regarding your alleged involvement in a unpleasant matter. At your convenience, of course.

RSVP regrets only

3. Why is he not in jail? Treated with kid gloves like Madoff.

4. Civil proceding for now...
...so no arrest. SEC violations are civil.

That's not to say he won't be indicted for criminal activity.

6. It doesn't make sense. You read stories about people spending
the night in jail because they kept overdue library books.
