Stanford - Hero or Crook?

In terms of WI cricket, where would you rank Stanford? and Why?
for the simple reason that crookedness is built into life. its endemic and almost all people are crooked as a result . and those who are not, the very small minority who may not be crooked are seen as fools and a-holes, must to villify and parody!
crookedness is the norm and honesty the abnormality in life.
Sanfords problem, as with all crooks is that he got caught. di'ze all there is to it. the system went after Stamford as it did not go after madoff, until the bubble burst and there was no way to save him.
all crookedness is known from the start. cannot be otherwise. systematically yiou have to be involved in crookedness if you are businessman, politician or bureaucrat.
if you are a professional - lawyer, doctor, teacher, whatever... you are either a crook or participating in a system that requires you to do that which is wrong, for profit and perks for yourself and the associated corporations and government departments, or lose your status, or derail your career if you are honest, straight-forward and above board.
all prosecution of crookedness depend entirely on who you are and the influence you have, can muster etc. the system is totally crooked and all who get prosecuted are so for political reasons, or racial reasons..never on the bais of pure honesty or in effort to cleam up the social process.
by definition those who run a crooked system, would not, indeed cannot clean it up. to clean up themselves crrooks would have to admit their culpability and risk prosecution themselves. dat does not compute.
by such assesment Sentford was a normal crookd fella who dropped a lot of money into the westindian cricket sinkhole
