It's really a tragedy for everyone including himself. Up until 1995 this guy used to do my taxes.

An accountant who had an office in San Francisco’s Sunset District was sentenced in federal court today to 20 years in prison for defrauding 292 middle-class investors of at least $34.5 million.The prison term given to Roberto Heckscher, 55, of San Mateo, by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston was the maximum allowed by law for a mail fraud count to which he pleaded guilty in October.Illston said, “I find this was the worst kind of fraud because the people who came to Mr. Heckscher relied on him and were totally deceived.”This isn’t just investment fraud but a loss of retirement and life savings. When I saw his name I said "Naw. It can't be him"! He really seemed like such a straight shooting arrow. But it's the same man.
Kind of a boring person actually, but with a silent smirk. I was so small of fry fish for him that he never bilked me. I've never had money. Or it's possible he only went bad within more recent years.
