Seems to me that you're complianing about a very small set of cases of violent crime. I doubt such an arrangement would have been contemplated if they had both be sentenced to a lot of time.
BTW, can you honestly say you would be equally worried about kids' living with their violent parents or with the Fastows? Methinks there are costs, as opposed to benefits, of depriving the children of their parents in this case.
None of this is to say, however, that everyone involved shouldn't have gotten more time and bigger asset forfeitures.

Oh whatever. I bet couples are convicted on tax evasion type stuff all the time.
No, kids shouldn't live with murderer parents or rapist parents. Duh.
Also, duh obviously this is better for the kids. Though what the costs really would be of having both parents gone at the same time, given that there's a shitload of money and apparently relatives of an age to take care of the kids (went to high school with RT, even), I am not sure. Like whoever said (hank?), this is what boarding school is for.
