V true Gun',but the real cultural issue that makes these crims do what they instinctively do is the non fear of being incarcerated in the same way as punters on the street cop!
In my view,the guilty are those entrusted(tax payer funded) to protect the public ,not giving preference to their wealthy acomplices.If I stole that amount of dosh from the unsuspecting,I can hide behind a corporate facade,and pay a "loose change" fine.
I give you no better international example of the SEC of whom middle fingered Harry Markopolous rooting out Madoff.Just as creepy is the CFTC ,of whom sheild JPM et al
with dudes like Bart Chilton,of whom now lobbies on behalf of the HFT sector.
But hey,who regulates the regulators.They just laugh and call it a conspiracy theory.
