In reply to the discussion: FED Judge criticizes lack of prosecution against Wall Street executives [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)20. Can the American people file complaints about crime themselves and force the hand
of our so-called Justice System? I mean the same way you would report a crime against yourself and file charges after which if there is enough evidence, begin the process of arrests and prosecutions.
These criminals ruined the lives of millions of people and they are getting away with it, and are apparently back to their old tricks, the ones that caused the collapse. I see they are quietly changing part of the Wall St. Reform Bill, which was pretty weak as a deterrent to begin with, to remove restrictions against what CAUSED the collapse, derivatives.
Just wondering if the people who are the direct victims of the crimes can begin to speed this up before it's too late.

OP
Yep. Fines lower than what they stole aren't a deterrent. Seize their assets and lock them up.

A Wall St. White House won't ever prosecute Wall St. They're "Too Big To Jail"!

That's great but would mean more if done before the statute of limitations ran out.
