In reply to the discussion: Husband had loan insured, but bank never told his widow [View all]BrotherIvan

WHEN are these fuckers going to jail?? If you or I tried to con the widow out of her $$, we would. But because they are shielded (by an army of lawyers hired to do just that) they never see consequences and just keep on going. Likely they will settle out of court, not to protect their reputation, but so the press stops and more people don't look into how they are being defrauded. I'll bet EVERYONE with any dealing with any bank can find several instances of fraud, from tacked on fees to mortgage theft, they build their billions one nickel at a time. Fuck them all.

The penalties have to be staggeringly huge. That's the only language these banksters understand.

That'd be another tactic to use. But we'd have to make that FEROCIOUSLY strong.
