Nine prosecuted over suspected NT$1.7 billion, three-year scam

What is wrong here? The prosecutors allow these fraudsters to operate for three years, cheating 1,155 victims and took illegal gains of NT$1.7 billion, before they indicated Tien and Yang. Seems policemen involved here, but never take action until inside deal went bad or the money became so big enough for other people to share with....

Nobody be it the lawmakers nor law enforcement agencies like the police can help those who are blinded by greed become reckless, fail to use their common sense and be foolish. The ancient saying that when something is too good to be true it's not true. That remains a good advice even today. Here you have a group of crooks going around offering huge or abnormal returns or profits. That's has always been the incentive to persuade investors to not use their otherwise cautious attitude. Sun Tse the wise man of war says as a matter of warning - often what appears to be real is not necessarily real and vice versa. If we take out the greed , and if these investors simply be more contented with what they can earn with small time investments with established banks all the con men and crooks would not have thrive. While I want to sympathize with these investors who lost money, I wonder whether they are victims of their own doing. Let’s not blame the police too readily. The police are trying merely to pick up the pieces after the happenings. Cold comfort to these victims. I have been approached by these sort of get rich agents before. Cynical as I always will be I ask myself the same question - if there is great sum of money or profits to make, why pick on me after all they would have kept such opportunities to themselves. If you ask and answer this question to yourself honesty and be wary of greed, you will certainly not fall victim. Be wise like a serpent. There is no free lunch. Don't be the free lunch for others.
