5. Like many other DU polls this one has no option for more than one response
In my opinion most Wall Street executives are criminal, incompetent AND negligent.

18. Sure it was but if they had been competent
They would have stolen all the money in the world and we never would have found out about it until it was all gone.

they were (are) indeed thieves but unfortunately for them, bumbling thieves.
