They had to do things that were illegal. He explained what they had to do that would go against sarbanes oxley. I didn't really understand what he was talking about, but some laws had to be broken. Where are the trials and jail sentences?

2. Not watching, but. first there was Eliot Spitzer!
The legal process TAKES A LONG TIME, he was beginning it, and then, KABLOOIE. NO COINCIDENCE, imo.
