Finally, the darn cops arrive.
Ahhhh, be ware of the odds of March (or in this case, the evens of April).
What legislation is before congress in the next few weeks? BANK REFORM! Say it with me now folks! BANK REFORM! Too big to fail and new powers to the regime!
Goldman has enough dirty on the politicians to make these charges go away, and the politicians know it. Manufacture a “crisis”, charge them with the civil fraud, push through the legislation that the “people” want on their divided common man vs. rich wall street, and then...poof, magically the charges get settled for a nice cool 10 million or 20, who cares. Goldman will pay their “penalty” promise not to “do it again” and make that 10 or 20 mil back by lunch time and their 1:00PM tee time!
And they're only about 18 months late!
