I've said the same things,many times...their complicity in,if not outright commission of crimes such as insider trading,money laundering,extortion,thefts of massive scales,war crimes,etc.,you know;the stuff everyone KNOWS they do,would more than satisfy the requirements for RICO proceedings against ANY other group doing just a fraction of the stuff they pull.

The fact that they're not pursued,as any other organized "crime family" has been,suggests to me that those who would/should be the ones to prosecute these criminal acts,don't because they're probably guilty too.Or are under the thumb of those who are.They're just not gonna open that can of worms to have it eventually and certainly turned on themselves.
