"The great American past-time has never been baseball, it has always been making money." A true enough quote from the film, but the unanswered question remains: "Is fraud the 'dirty-little-secret-ingredient' necessary for capitalism to work?" The most blatant fraud against justice is the "non-disclosure agreement" sold to criminals, by our justice system, to protect their trade-secrets. Jack Abramoff's story was an unheeded warning, quickly forgotten; it isn't fraud if it isn't noticed.
