wonder about and i will mention some names not saying they are guilty of anything but someone like lehman brothers and perhaps others who were never prosecuted at all. but one of the things people say is that it's too complicated for the jury to understand which might be another way of saying we are afraid of detail because he remember one of the first cases brought word that cases against the hedge fund traders in the government lawsuit cases and i've always wondered what difference it would have made if they had one. >> guest: that made people nervous about the kind of evidence they had so this is why i started with enron because can you imagine anything more complicated than the enron fraud, they had secret ownerships and it was just complex with multiple business lines but they won the case and i try to walk through it carefully the investigation and why they won the trials because they managed to get a storyline that jury could understand they said this isn't a case about complex accounting or aggressive business practices that we will label. this is about truth and lies, black-and-w
