No one got arrested for 2008. Has anyone been arrested for the Opiate crisis? Oligarchs don't have the same laws as the rest of us.

  Let's imagine you were a federal prosecutor. Who specifically would you indict for the 2008 crisis, and on what specific charge?

    Let's not, because it's a pointless exercise. I'm not a federal prosecutor with the powers to investigate the malfeasance of white collar criminals. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/04/magazine/only-one-top-banker-jail-financial-crisis.html https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/04/magazine/only-one-top-ban...

    accounting fraud, for one. Banks carried so much unsold bonds on their books at prices that were nowhere near reality.
