...again, for WHAT crimes? Congress deregulated the entire banking industry, essentially *legalizing* practices that would have been deem illegal under old SEC regulations. Congress also deliberately weakened the enforcement of established laws and their OWN responsibility to exercise oversight. For nearly 6 years now, people have despised Eric Holder because he didn't go after Wall Street. When asked what laws were broken and which ones Holder should have targeted, they come up with nothing. Why? The answer is very simple: DEREGULATION created this mess and made illegal banking practices LEGAL!!!
