It is a simple premise - we all know Wall Street does frauds - and they always get away 'Scot Free' (even when they are caught, the company is fined {meaning shareholders foot the bill), and the perpetrators get to keep their ill gotten gains).
Though it is called Deferred Prosecution Agreements - the real name for it is bribery.
Former New Jersey U.S. Attorney, Chris Christie, gave his former boss, a $50 million - NO BID - Deferred Prosecution Agreement.
In other words, a current federal prosecutor gave his boss, the former TOP DOJ federal prosecutor, millions of dollars to forgo a prosecution; which - before babbling bull chit days - is otherwise known as "qui pro quo" bribery.
Then, magically, Chris Christie is rewarded with the Governorship.

As per the NY Times Christie Defends His Record as a Prosecutor
In an appearance that was by turns triumphant and testy, Mr. Christie, New Jerseys Republican nominee for governor, also brushed aside suggestions that the monitoring contract he gave John Ashcroft, the former attorney general, which was worth as much as $52 million, was an example of cronyism. Mr. Christie said that in addition to Mr. Ashcrofts extensive legal experience, he is a native Missourian, and the company he was appointed to oversee had requested a monitor with a Midwestern sensibility.
All seven of the contracts Mr. Christie awarded during his seven years in office had a single goal, he asserted: to achieve results of justice for the public.
But under tense questioning, he acknowledged that one of the law firms that he had given a contract has since made substantial donations to his campaign for governor. He also found himself on the defensive over newly released e-mail messages indicating that he refused to intervene on behalf of a company that had objected to the high fees Mr. Ashcrofts firm was charging, including $750,000 a month solely to pay Mr. Ashcroft and two other executives.
$750,000 PER MONTH is such utter Bull CHIT! Would you "defer" a prosecution, for millions of dollars?
Sheesshh
If they can get away with such a blatant, flagrant ethical violation - openly;
what do you think is going on - secretly - behind other closed doors.

Though they've gotten away with eToys fraud, for 16 years (and Goldman Sachs has partnered with Bain Capital schemes, longer than that) - the Hoover Dam wall of protection is starting to crumble.
