I've been following their plight for a long time new and am subscribed to the yahoo group and whilst I could never know whether they were criminal in their business or not, I don't think thats the issue here. The issue for me is the lack of a trial and being left to rot like that without the prosecution ever coming up with a case or even turning up at the court, never mind the judge just being on holiday or whatever every week. The whole situation is appaling and if they were wealthy it would have been a completely different situation.
