The bankers and Wall Street equivalents are people making wild bets knowing that their gov’ts will cover them at our expense.
Hopefully many more will be thrown off tall buildings or have other “accidents”.
They did pay fines of Billions of dollars. Fines are good, jail is much much much better!
A better question to ask is why they did not go to jail for criminal activity? This answer is also quite easy, they own the politicians be they Democrat, Republican, Tory, Labor, etc.
They are the elite and the enemy!
PS
I am a capitalist and not a left winger. What has happened in our banking industry is not capitalism but corruption of government and crony capitalism.
When it all went to hell the taxpayer paid, and the elites of business and politics still flew in the back of Gulf stream Jets ner to mix with the common rabble of commercial aviation. It would be beneath their dignity you know.
Agreed. The term "investor" has lost its meaning long ago. The markets are not "investing" in anything anymore. They are tics attached to the Central Banking and taxpayer host. A rumor is floated regarding a DOJ small fine that lets criminals off the hook, and stocks soar. False unemployment numbers are released, the markets soar. Parasites.
