You can get jail time for shoplifting, but the people whose actions directly led to millions losing their retirement savings or homes (or both) just keep their jobs and big bonuses. We have the best government money can buy.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, sorta unfair to put the secretaries in jail. Or the phone operators, or the salesmen, or the CTO. However, if one person did in fact commit a crime, then by all means put him/her in jail.

No secretaries mailed out bogus ratings? Well, I guess we could just investigate them all and see what we find. Or just fine the corporation billions, and use that to compensate the people harmed.
