Note:  This is borderline amusing - meaning it's "funny" regarding the judge's recognition of this crook's generosity to "inmates" - offering advice on business matters that didn't pay off for the investors that entrusted him with their money.  Just another example of a "justice" system populated by out-of-touch bufoons and suckers - who still think a suit means honest while poor-and-desperate means long jail sentence.  This judge is typical of the output of our American lawyer-system - a complete jackass.
