There was a time, in the 1800’s I believe, when after banks were involved in major fiascos, the citizenry took to stringing up senior bankers from the nearest lightpole.

No, the biggest financial scandal in history is Social Security. It was supposed to be in a lock-box and self-supporting but the money has gone.

How many billions/trillions were stolen?

“Every time people begin to gain a little confidence, something else comes up,”

Ain't this the truth? TARP 2.0 anyone?

I recall that, in addition to falsifying FICO scores, significant numbers of Ameriquest/Argent Mortgage's subprime a$$paper loans were tied to LIBOR instead of American Prime.

Always wondered WTF they were up to.

Screw this "settlement" mentality.  Do NyLons float like 1776 vintage crates of Tea?

SHACKLE the JACKALS!



It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware
of whether or not his services are being used
as a means to accomplish evil ends -
and to act (or NOT) accordingly.
