It seems like this scheme was unraveling before Trump came into office. If it hadn't been, Trump may have proved to be good for him, in driving renewed optimism for domestic steel production and simultaneously stripping regulatory bodies like the EPA of oversight and enforcement capacity.

Just put it on the wall next to the SEC and Wall Street, with highlights on Bernie Madoff and the subprime mortgage crisis.
