Yet those at the top walk not only walk free but get paid, paid big. Same thing happened with the bankstas and the 2008 bailouts. Not one of the CEOs of the financial institutions and entities like the big bond rating agencies who aided various fraudulent activity has ever done any jail time. Meanwhile all the toxic assets of the mortgage balloon scam were shifted to the taxpayers to pay.
