(both real and abortive), even after a fair amount of noise in the press, the target companies remain more ascendant than ever. The people who stole all those billions are still in place. And the bank is more untouchable than ever former Debevoise & Plimpton hotshots Mary Jo White and Andrew Ceresny, who represented Chase for some of this case, have since been named to the two top jobs at the SEC. As for the bank itself, its stock price has gone up since the settlement and flirts weekly with five-year highs. They may lose the odd battle, but the markets clearly believe the banks won the war. Truth is one thing, and if the right people fight hard enough, you might get to hear it from time to time. But justice is different, and still far enough away.

I wonder how that election would have gone if Obama had directed the FBI to staff up and investigate them like they did the S&L folks they put in jail. With no excuses. But knowing what we know now, that was never gonna happen.
Now 10 million people in poverty who weren't before 2008, along with about 20-30 million others who now live in near poverty, many who used to be middle class voters, as well as 4 million of the 7 million families thrown in the street in foreclosure, and the 6 million families desperately trying to stay ahead of loans on homes that no longer worth what they paid, all get to live with it. While the banksters laugh.
