17. From what I've read on Financial Sites...some of the SEC violations are past

"Statutes of Limitations" which is probably why there was the rush for them to settle since they didn't have time to prosecute since no one had started an investigation. There are still some investigations which could go on in the states like NY...but, times running out. They hope we will all lose interest...and in fact most of the country has. That's why at least the "Frontline" update is worthwhile...although not much will come of it...at least it's more documentation of what went on and who knows...someday some changes will be made because of the documentation.

DOJ should have at least made more of an effort though, even if it was all dumped on Obama...and hard for him to deal with as new President ...it's not like he didn't come in with a good staff of Dems from Clinton days helping him to understand what was going on so that more could have been held accountable to stop furture Wall Street Crooks along with the ones still there from doing it all again. Which is my fear... they will DO IT AGAIN...since they got away with it before.

No worry, the invisible hand will punish the wrongdoers, we don't even need a Justice department. corkhead Jan 2013 #1
