Finally, Wall Street gets put on trial....a truly remarkable Salon article

[ClarkJonathanKent]

Please read this Salon article and spread it around. It's amazing, in my opinion.

"Do you see what I’m saying? Executives do not always share the interests of the corporation that employs them. They weren’t “defrauding themselves,” as our federal protector laughs, they were defrauding the suckers that paid their bonuses, the shareholders that invested in them, the European pension funds that believed their excreta was Grade A Prime."

7. Excellent article

It gets to the heart of the matter - dishonest people made billions in bonuses, and it doesn't matter, in terms of their guilt, if the banks they worked for lost money as well as the people they lent to. It's possible to defraud 2 or more entities at the same time.
