it should have been $75BN but took a lesser hit.

Unfortunately unless the fine is leveraged on the INDIVIDUALS that committed these crimes and those individuals serve PRISON for 25 years to life, this only hurts the investors in the company. Yes, yes, some of those investors are large investors like other banks, etc. but there are also public employee pension funds and individual IRAs and 401Ks that may also be hit.

We need to find a way to hold the assholes responsible for this accountable and suck any money they got from their crimes back and then make them suffer in a maximum security prison for years. I consider crimes that deprive people of their hard-earned money, their dreams, aspirations, homes, etc. to be as invasive as violent crimes...I would exempt murder of course.
