The public won't respond at all in any meaningful sense to the perpetrators. There will be some grumbling about how terrible it is and then it will be forgotten

The public won't respond at all in any meaningful sense to the perpetrators. There will be some grumbling about how terrible it is and then it will be forgotten. HSBC laundered money for child trafficers and drug cartels, then the British government stepped in, gave a pathetic fine compared to the profits they made and nothing else happened. No one went to jail and the politicians that saved HSBC "in the interests of global sfinancial stability", got voted back in. It's sickening to the few, but the majority will always vote for the status quo. The rest may grumble at the MSM headline (never repeated after 2 days), but will do nothing. TPTB treat "the plebs" like cattle to be milked and it keeps working for them, so why change.
