could the prosecutors use anything from this program thing against them? >> the prosecutor was asked that and he wouldn't comment at all, but he did say that the alleged crimes happened somewhere between 2001 and 2011. the show itself began in 2009, so you might wonder that's a possibility it could go back and scan those shows for evidence. the evidence they have laid out so far includes lying to banks, to bankruptcy court to the irs. that happened before the show went on the air, like in 2008, 2009. prosecutors didn't say much but they did apparently say they have a significant paper trail. listen. >> the investigation went on for a pretty long time and we're confident we have enough evidence. >> the law says they could get decades in prison, the reality is they're facing a few years behind bars. >> shepard: you would figure they would want to strike a plea deal here.
