Here's how you make sure businesses (and individuals) act the right way.<br> 1. Don't reward failure with a 700 billion dollar bailout.<br> 2. Abolish the SEC and let the investment companies police their on, FINRA for example. Come on folks how inept can the SEC be in going after chicanery going on in companies? Madoff is a prime example. Madoff admitted that his Ponzi scheme was going on since the early 90s and the SEC was to inept to do anything about it, even after a whistle blower sent numerous emails to the SEC concerning Mr Madoff's activities. The SEC has no criminal enforcement powers and can only sanction companies through the civil courts. Kinda LAME<br> 3. Beef up the FBI and the Justice Department to vigorously enforce EXISTING laws against fraud. Go after wrong doers CRIMINALLY. If you have to hire 1000 agents with a background in forensic accounting. Do it and pay them well.<br> 4. Mandatory minimums: We need to go after the Madoffs early and put them away for a long time. We need mandatory minimums of at least 25 years for fraud that costs a victim over lest say 100,000 dollars. Sound harsh for ya? Darned right it is, but this is one way we can preserve the integrity of the markets.
