THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

The indictment puts South Florida even further in the Ponzi scheme spotlight in the wake of Scott Rothstein's $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme, orchestrated out of his Fort Lauderdale law firm, and the $7 billion scheme allegedly orchestrated by R. Allen Stanford, who had a key office in Miami. (Rothstein has pleaded guilty, but Stanford is contesting the charges against him.)
Many of the victims in Bernard Madoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme also were South Floridians. Madoff is serving a 150-year prison term.
