Re Goldman Sachs......

Street crime is not the most expensive type of criminal activity in the U.S. White-collar crime or elite crime such as embezzlement and stock manipulation costs the U.S. nearly $1 trillion compared to $15 billion for street crime, according to the FBI.

Yet white-collar criminals are rarely punished because the system protects them. “Elite criminals benefit from institutionalized non-enforcement practices, regulatory policies, and legal representation not available to street criminals,” wrote criminologist and author Dr. Scott Bonn. “As a result, white-collar criminals are extremely difficult to apprehend and prosecute, even when they do tremendous harm to society.”
