Really? Think how many transactions they would have done in that time frame. They just didn't log onto e*trade and click buy jack-o-lantern futures to peak for January. To check every transaction made, from every computer, to verify any possible tampering, would take months.

Then you have to prove it in a court of law. There are very straight forward fraud cases that take months to process, look at the Nova Scotia MLA fraud scandals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Sc...penses_scandal it took 8 months to investigate.

These things take time to have the i's dotted and the t's crossed.
