Anyway, from what I have been reading most of the lawyers named are not being accused of being complicit in the fraud, but rather negligent in not reporting indicia of fraud that BMO feels they should have been aware of. So potentially more an indictment of competency rather than ethics.

Seeing some of the names on the list, it doesn't necessarily shock me. I wish I could tell my law school story about one of the named parties, but it might get someone else in trouble (who really shouldn't get in trouble because it was an accident we even found out) so I can't. Let's just say, for one of these Defendants, this isn't even the first time they've been implicated in a series of questionable dealings and had their competency scathingly questioned.
Have you seen a list?

What will the Law Society do about named lawyers?
