Economic crimes, did he say on Bernie Madoff or what? And why would the justice system buddy up with slime smugglers?

The language "human trafficking" is BS. It's smuggling and it's nasty.

For what it’s worth, trafficking is considered higher level than smuggling in the government world.

Someone like a coyote who guides people illegally crossing the Mexican border is considered a smuggler because the people he’s guiding are willing participants. Trafficking is when you stick a bunch of women in a cargo container, either against their will or under false pretenses, to sexually exploit them when they get to the US.
