Tom Petters, accused of a massive investment fraud scheme, has been in jail since early October. No "house arrest" for him.

But of course his team of lawyers want a change of venue and release from jail for him.

Stick up the corner grocery store? In the slammer.
Rob folks and charities of pensions and investments, a la Bernie Madoff? Free to troll the street of NYC and sleep in his own bed. It's our dual system of justice.

We'll see how long Petters stays in jail.
