No offense to you personally of course. I've just been heavily screwed by bad people and multiple systems that failed. It's cool though, they got a slap on the wrist.

I take zero offense, of course, because it's not me! I just find that a little odd. I feel like this industry is (rightly so) one of the most intensely regulated. There are a lot of checks and balances, and a lot of oversight.
And of course, I don't expect you to discuss details or anything like that. It just seems like these things would be settled quickly through insurance if nothing else, and that actual recourse against an offending party might follow (and that part might take years!).
