I think this is a criminal and not a political issue to be honest.

I am disturbed by all the criminal activity that is happening in attempts to meet or surpass expectations.

I guess the best way to handle this is to give 20 years at least to offenders who are doing this...after stripping them of their wealth of course!

Yeah, right. Like the Wall Street crowd is EVER stripped of their wealth, or they EVER serve hard time. If you believe that, I've got some mountaintop property in Southern Florida to sell you. In case you have not figured it out yet, our entire financial system is a scam. It's kind of like a poker game, if you don't know who the chump at the table is, then you're it.

It will be a crummy Thanksgiving and Christmas for these crooks.

The worse are the ones who actually headed up or were CEO's for mutual funds, and they still were involved in these scams.

The best punishment will be when states, local government, corporations and individuals cashing out of the bad funds and rolling their money into legit funds. Putnam lost 12-14 billion $'s in fund rollovers and cashouts in just a couple of days.

These guys need criminal charges filed and civil charges filed against them. If they broke laws and are found guilty, put them in jail. Then sue them in criminal courts to remove their ill gotten money.
