39. As no one has been charged with a crime

nobody is going to go to jail

A couple of years back a programmer got accused by Goldman Sachs of stealing some of their machine-trading algorithm code. He was arrested by the FBI within 24 hours.

Not long before, Dick Fuld made some pronouncements about the health of his company (Lehman) that constituted felonies - he grossly misrepresented its capital position as "well-capitalized" barely a week before that company went down (due to not being well-capitalized at all). That's a serious felony, by the way; as it is a publicly traded company, it's a felony to lie about its financial health to investors. Never charged with anything, and AG Holder is dutifully making sure that the statute of limitations runs out.

There's one law for you and me and another for the powerful, and that's the ultimate bottom-line reason why all of these crooks are going to walk, with their stolen profits secure in their own accounts.
