How big is this. Surely the law firm wasn't keeping all the money after they received it. How much were those corrupt SOBs paid to look the other way while billions were stolen from people?

Edit: If the SEC was in on it, they would not have been so dumb as to have the bribes paid directly to themselves...it always goes through an attorney first. It's the first step in money laundering: put bad money under a new, good name.
