Just out of curiosity, who specifically should've gone to jail in 2008, and for what?
- ldehaan 11y agowho: Anyone who profited from defrauding the us tax payers. There is a very long list. given the proper time and budget from, say, the department of justice; we'd probably have it. however the doj did nothing twice, and so I doubt they'll be the ones to whom we should entrust such long list making. why: billions of dollars stolen from the world economy to make people who were already wealthy; more wealthy. All at the expense of hundreds of millions who have a lower quality of life because of it. on this you'll just have to trust me or research on your own. There are several movies and documentaries which address it in depth on Netflix/HBO/Amazon.

- saiya-jin 11y agoif they broke the law during that time then yes, otherwise no. the last part about "you just have to trust me" is pretty funny - there are several movies and documentaries on Netflix/HBO/Amazon (and youtube!) about how jet fuel can't melt steel beams. or you just have to trust me.
- FussyZeus 11y agoI would argue the bankers who packaged sub-prime mortgages as securities, knowingly stocking bullshit investments in large enough groups where they looked ok, and fudging the numbers to do it in most cases. In my mind there's no difference between that and for example, selling a lemon car and should have a similar outcome.
