"If I leave the keys in the ignition of my sports car and it’s stolen, I’m a very foolish person, but certainly no less the victim of a car theft."

Except that the investors gave the keys of their cars to Holmes. Holmes didn't grab their money without their permission.

If you talk to your insurance, you are not the victim. They won't pay out a claim if you left your key in the car.
