   My understanding is that mortgage fraud is something worse than just a fine   
   (however large) which would make these people ineligible for office (partly   
   because they'd be in prison).

   I don't think we need that.  I thought that Social Security went direct   
   deposit.  We have account numbers.  Those accounts have people attached to   
   them.   
      
   Banks don't let just anyone take money out of an account.

   Probably.   
      
   I can see a few reasons why no prosecutions here: bigger fish to fry.   
      
   But we're still not seeing any of the big fish frying either.   
      
      
   ... Success is just a matter of luck.  Ask any failure.
