USA - Why isn't Wall Street in jail?

July 22nd, 2013

.that's the title of reporter Matt Taibbi's new article for Rolling Stone magazine. In the piece, Matt writes, quote, "Nobody goes to jail. This is the mantra of the financial-crisis era, one that saw virtually every major bank and financial company on Wall Street embroiled in obscene criminal scandals that impoverished millions and collectively destroyed hundreds of billions, in fact, trillions of dollars of the world's wealth." We have two-and-a-half million people in jail in the USA, more than a million who are in jail for nonviolent crimes. And yet, we couldn't find a single person on Wall Street to do even a day in jail for losing 40 percent of the world's wealth in a criminal fraud scheme? And that tells you that we have—this goes beyond the cliché that rich people have better lawyers and they have an advantage. This is a step beyond that. This is a situation where the system is completely corrupted, and it's true regulatory capture. The SEC and the Justice Department are essentially subsidiaries of Wall Street.
