This is a complete list of Wall Street CEOs prosecuted for their role in the financial crisis

Five years after Lehman fell, taking the global economy along with it, a roll call of Wall Street CEOs serving time for their role in the crisis looks something like this:
So, yeah. Zero Wall Street CEOs are in jail. And that’s not because the federal government tried to prosecute a bunch of them but lost the cases. There were no serious effortsat criminal prosecutions at all.
Which isn’t to say nobody is in jail. There have been prosecutions of various mortgage brokers and other small fish who lied or encouraged clients to lie on their applications for a home loan. The crisis exposed some outright fraudsters who are now in the slammer, such as Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford. And, yes, major banks have been working through billions of dollars in civil settlements for shady behavior in the runup to the crisis.
But it’s shocking that for a crisis that drove the global economy off a cliff, caused millions of people to lose their homes and generally spread mass human misery to almost every corner of the earth there is no defining prosecution. No man or woman who led one of the firms directly culpable for the catastrophe has been put in a prison-orange jumpsuit. You might think that by now we could say that orange is the new charcoal pinstripes. But we can’t.

fairness, impartiality, judgment, and politics might come into question, that is unless the thinking is no one will actually notice what the DOJ does and does not do.
