Nobody has been prosecuted for
or None of the perpetrators are in jail for
and of course, Technically it was legal.
Who do you want to see get their comeuppance? Are you doing anything now to make that happen? If it happens, would you be satisfied, or would you want more? I didnt say justice, but comeuppance. (I like the word, I used to challenge a friend of mine to use it, which was hard since he wrote mostly about CAD/CAM products.)
In 2015 I want to see photos of perp-walks and hear about sentences that fit the crimes. I want to read about a high-level person going to jail because his abused underlings rolled on him and the prosecutor needed a bigger fish to fry. I want to read stories about the people and systems that werent subverted with the right amount of lying, lawyering, lobbying and lucre.
I also crave the old-timey ripple effect of justice. When justice is carried out, it is supposed to change peoples behavior. Not just on the people who got punished, but the people around them."

(460 posts)If one of us little guys would rip someone off for a grand or two, there would be prison time of years. These scummy bastards stole billions, and got promotions and bonuses. There are too many people playing both sides of the fence in government and finance. We need some new faces, and some honest people who are not scared to tackle one of the big guys. If a few of the Wall street elite would end up doing hard time, it would make the rest of them actually try to obey the law instead of figuring ways to skirt it.
