So far it was not proved that he broke the law.
C'mon. Anyone with common sense knows he was cheating.
The laws are different for financial crimes for billionaires (Cohen, Corzine, etc) than regular people.
Raj Rajaratnam was cheating, feds got wiretaps. With Steve it's not obvious. FBI spent millions trying to get direct evidence against Cohen, no luck so far. He is the big prize in this game. What you call common sense is the result of successful media campaign. The fact that government did not even try to charge Steve directly after all this noise tells me they got nothing.

Rajaratnam is just an Asian immigrant with links to Tamil Tigers.
Cohen is a white jew.
