Maybe because none of them broke any laws.

To: BenLurkin; All

I don’t know why people blame Wall Street executives for the loan crisis when it’s not the Wall Street execs that made students take out loans for school, or forced people to buy houses and cars and lifestyles that they couldn’t afford. Wall Street profited off of a lot of results that came from those loans, but it’s not the fault of the executives that people lost control of themselves.

There was one guy (Citibank?) who admitted to fraudulent activity in under oath before Congress.

In most jurisdictions, "fraud" is against the law.

In Jefferson County, AL, several county officials went to prison for accepting bribes in a grotesquely mismanaged construction project of a new sewage-treatment system. The project, as I recall, ultimately bankrupted the county.

Curiously, nobody who actually paid the bribes went to prison.

In most jurisdictions, bribery is against the law.
