$10,000? For the criminals on Wall Street that's a fee for a half-hour of "consulting" over a $500 martini-fueled lunch! They must be getting a kick over this one. Laughing all the way to the country club.

Not the first time, not the last time.
Heck, 10K is peanuts compared to Adelphia, Enron, Health South, MCI, etc etc.

The guys that screwed thousands out of million$ will likely never see any time inside.
