You make me Laugh. This isn't the comvicts who commit small crimes. This is Big Company's and Corporations suiting each other, like Apple,who just got suited for ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Good Try anyways.

$13 million is only a fraction of the damage these convicts have done. Victims of crime are often a side show to the courts and they should be the main focus

“During this time of economic recovery, these collections are more important than ever,” said Thomas G. Walker, U.S. Attorney

What!?! The government is now in the business of ensuring we arrest and convict people no matter what so we can take away people's personal possessions? I'd argue the conviction is far less important than getting at the truth and protecting our society.

The title needs an -. pony-up. It was confusing why the state was convicting a pony until I read a little further.

As long as the system here focuses on re-election and money we will keep putting people that shouldn't be convicted of a crime in jail. That has been made obvious this last year with the release of people falsely or wrongly convicted. They Brag about the money. This show a lack of justice being served blindly. People are offended by what Croche did, they should see what Da's, Judges, and police get away with to make a charge stick even if incorrect
