A "case" can be made, but that is not my primary point. I think the "case" being made is being done for political reasons and I think government resources could be better used perusing fraud and abuse where there are real and innocent victims.
I put case in quotes because I think given vague legal concepts, like in the areas of financial regulation, a "case" could be made in just about any transaction where one party can gain financially and another party can lose financially. For example I was reading some financial information on Car Max the other day, they are making an average of $2,000 in profits on every car they sell, with no haggle pricing, they also provide financing and service contracts. Their margins are significantly higher than used car industry averages. A "case" could be made on every transaction, buying and selling, they participate in - today we live in a country where if someone in government with power gets a "bee in their bonnet" for Car Max, you can bet they will go down. I simply don't like this form of political prosecution. I think our government is getting out of control. That is my point.
