    The rich and powerful are never imprisoned!

    Unless they are!
    Yeah, pretty much. He was headed to jail until the big loser swept in with the pardon...

    Sure, a well paid, connected lawyer can do wonders for you, that's where money comes in, but there are plenty of cases where that wasn't enough... see: Bernie Madoff for a quick example.

    Bit of a reach calling a thief wealthy and powerful when everything he had was stolen.

    Didn't say he did.

    What's a reach is to claim everything he had was stolen. He was the chairman of Nasdaq at some point and made popular things like PFOF, which is still legal today (we'll see how long).

    He started with penny stocks in the 60's, and the earliest recorded evidence of the fraud comes from the early 90s.

    He was both wealthy and powerful on his own right, he just got greedy.

    Not sure what you were agreeing with then when you said "yeah", then proceeded to give an example which shows just the opposite.

    All he owned was owed to people he defrauded. You cannot legitimately call that wealthy. You can try, which it seems you're doing already. His wife was allowed to keep 2.5m. Hardly wealthy.
