Also, several county officials of Jefferson County, AL went to prison for accepting bribes in the catastrophically-botched financing of their new sewer system.
None of the bankers who paid the bribes went to prison.
Is it no longer illegal to bribe government officials? Or is it just that laws prohibiting bribery of government officials are no longer enforced ... if you’re a banker?
According to the above link, 21 people and 5 companies were convicted.
White is the last to be sentenced among 21 people and five companies convicted in connection with two federal probes into the construction and financing of the sewer system project. Also convicted in the probes were former Jefferson County commissioners Larry Langford, Chris McNair and Mary Buckelew.
Based on this comment, 4 commissioners were convicted. None of the other 17 were bribe payers? Are you sure?
