I mean isn't the punishment his livelihood? And whoever's livelihood when someone looks under the hood and they realize a lot of people (not just lawyers) are doing this all over the place?
And everyone thinks they're too smart to get caught...until they aren't..
I used to be a lawyer. While I never got in trouble with the disciplinary commission, I did keep up with what they were up to. And once, I was involved in a bankruptcy case where they were a party (the disbarred lawyer filed bankruptcy, and it was a whole mess).
My sense is that these are serious people who do not put up with BS. BS will only make it worse.
