Look - the problem is that the Banksters have reached the same lofty status that Big Bill Clinton achieved. They're too big to be prosecuted, AND THEY KNOW IT.

The "regulations" are a red herring. It's the "or else" part that's not being enforced.

As an example, Wachovia (now part of Wells Fargo) failed to follow US anti-money laundering laws. You or I would be doing HARD TIME for such violations. Any Banksters at Wachovia or Wells Fargo? Not so much...

You’re right. It is a big mistake to defend the big banks. They would never have gotten so large in a free market. They are a few of the winners chosen by government policies.
