Individuals getting caught for individual crimes happens sometimes. So what?
You're a quantitative guy, so tell us: How many such cases in the last 3 years? You say 20? How many were there in the prior 3 years? What's the baseline?
The mass institutional crimes centered on the subprime mortgage securities and derivatives frauds of 2002-2008 remain, not merely unpunished, but rewarded with trillions in public payouts and hundreds of billions of dollars in bonuses paid, before and since the exposure of the fraud, to the primary perpetrators of the fraud.
Their institutions are more powerful today and more in control of all three branches of the former constitutional government than ever.
By contrast, the entire world economy is burning and tens of millions of people are drowning in debt thanks to the witting actions of these perpetrators, who, like the poachers, knew they were killing the six-ton elephant so that they could profit from a few pounds of ivory.
There has been no justice, only ever-greater injustice. And so it will go, as long as the ratings agencies who provided the central element of the fraud are allowed to continue terrorizing the world's nations. Like prior auditing conspirators in mass corporate fraud (e.g., Arthur Anderson), Moody's and Co. must be shut down and seized, as the prelude to the prosecution of the primary perpetrators who sit in the executive suites at Goldman BoA Citigroup Chase et al. There is no justice until the Too Big To Exist entities, who have openly seized power in this nation and continue to wage their rabid plunder of the 99 percent, are liquidated.
