Was there any involvement ofmafia in the whole affair or the crooked judges were the mafia altogether'Were there any political linkages to these corruptions or were there anypolitical money involved in the whole affair' And why did not the FBI wentto ask some of the young lawyers to cooperate with them, why was it onlyHake and why only Hake went to FBI and no other person. James and Rob are both unclearas to what the motives of Hake were. James and Rob are unsure of the honestyof Hake himself is because he was the one who went to the FBI to help themin getting evidence against the prospective conviction of the suspectedjudges. However, it is of no concern as to what the intentions of Hake were, butwhat really matters is that the crooked ones were really put to trial. Through Hake's efforts Judge John M. To question the motive of Hake may be the demand of the situationon one hand, but it may be quite imperative to give credit to Hake. For instance, the authors didnot put light as to why the corruption was even present in the judicialsystem and why did judges became crooked. This makes themcritical of someone's physique and appearance and gave way for criticism. There are also some of thequestions in the book that are unanswered.

The FBI did not go to Hake for help. Some of the funny areas in the book are objectionable to some critics,like the comment over the moustache of Anton Valuka. Murphy was convicted along withthe Harold Conn, a court clerk for the charges of taking bribes.
