It’s no surprise. Their latest escapade was nothing compared to the Great Treasury Robbery of 2008, when Goldman sleeper mole Dirty Hank Paulson infiltrated the highest echelons of government and unlocked the treasury so his Wall Street cronies could loot it of trillions in broad daylight. It was a brazen and brilliant heist, carried out in front of TV cameras complete with the President of the United States telling us it was for our own good.
The MF’ers at MF Global, including the Chief MF’er, Democrat Jon Corzine, also will not be prosecuted.
In our pay to play government, it pays to be politically well-connected, and paying bribes, er… campaign contributions to the crooked bastards holding the reins of power doesn’t hurt either.
Jon Corzine was a big bundler for the Obama campaign back in 2008, so that gives him immunity, and the Golden Sacks at Goldman Sachs have acquired the US Treasury in a friendly takeover:
In 2008, Goldman Sachs employees were among Barack Obama’s top campaign contributors, giving a combined $1,013,091. Eric Holder’s former law firm, Covington & Burling, also counts Goldman Sachs as one of its clients. Furthermore, in April 2011, when the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations issued a scathing report detailing Goldman’s suspicious Abacus deal, several Goldman executives and their families began flooding Obama campaign coffers with donations, some giving the maximum $35,800. (Daily Beast)And those naive lefties thought Wall Street corruption was the exclusive domain of Republicans. Silly rabbits, tricks are for all politicians.
But never fear, Peter Schweitzer tells us that Heinrich Holder’s Ministry of inJustice has been busy chasing down financial malefactors:
$ “Three Connecticut Women Charged with Overseeing ‘Gifting Tables’ Pyramid Scheme.” Three women in their 50s and 60s were indicted for conspiracy, tax, and wire-fraud charges.
$ The owner of a Miami company got 46 months in prison for creating fake loan applications.
$ In March, 2012, the DOJ sent a property appraiser in Washington, D.C., to the slammer for 65 months for fraudulently inflated prices in a scheme to “flip” properties. The scheme was a small-time $1 million operation, a sharp contrast with the billions on Wall Street.Source: Why Goldman Sachs and Other Wall Street Crooks are not being Prosecuted
