Tiny you are one of the few on here that is opened minded but I say,Thats to fucking bad for these criminals. These white collar criminals want sympathy for their crimes that typically fuck over hundreds if not thousands of people. They complain about 3-5 years sentences when they hand out 10 + year sentences routinely for burglary, and other crimes like forbidden topics to people who dont have money. Americas prisons are full of poor people. Fuck these assholes. Not one of the cock suckers who caused the Financial collapse in 2008 went to jail. I dont like seeing anyone go to jail but I hope Mueller slams the door on these hypocrites

As to the financial collapse, some of the people who lied about information on mortgage forms, etc., did deserve some jail time. From watching American Greed on CNBC, my impression is that con men get about what they deserve.
The problem is when, pardon the expression, you get started on a witch hunt. This could have happened but did not with the financial collapse. Who are you going to go after? Richard Fuld (Lehman Brothers)? Barney Franks? George W. Bush? I don't believe they committed crimes, although they all played a part in the collapse.
