Come December 25, where will all these prominent leaders be ? How many will be cooling their heels inside a Federal Pretrial Detention Center in America, as their flight risk status automatically with most certainly disqualify them for bond. They will probably be poring over their respective indictments, trying t absorb their attorneys' advice to swiftly make a decision on entering a plea, to save themselves from the consequences of their 20-year maximum exposure in the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986.
Their families most likely will not be visiting them, upon the advice of counsel, lest their spouses and significant others be exposed to possible interrogation, and even arrest, on conspiracy to commit money laundering charges, for the spouses enjoyed the fruit of their partners' illicit labours. Their holiday season will be a bleak one.
Additionally, there is the well-founded fear that certain of their partners in crime will decide to cooperate, to avoid a very long prison term, or worse, may have already rolled over, and given evidence or testimony that will seal their fate. The uncertainty and stress will be substantial; it is certainly not the way they have previously spent the holiday season, spending lavishly, traveling abroad, and lining the pockets of their subordinates with the proceeds of their joint criminal endeavors.
W e are wondering what these individuals are thinking now, at at night, in the privacy of their lavish homes, before sleep. That is, if they can sleep. Romans 6:23.
