> Will CZ be the richest person ever sent to Federal prison? Maybe because no bank execs ever go to jail?

  Even if bank execs went to jail CZ is still wealthier

  No U.S. bank executive is worth over $30 billion.

      The wealthiest American banker should be Andy Beal ($10 billion+), and that's because he wholly owns a big bank [1]. For reference, Jamie Dimon has been CEO of JP Morgan (America's largest bank) for nearly two decades and controls $1 billion in shares. Yeah, they're all mega-rich, but there's a big difference between someone having $1 billion and $30 billion. The latter can spend the former's entire assets in a year and still become wealthier over time. 1- https://www.forbes.com/profile/andrew-beal/?sh=468364783067 https://www.forbes.com/profile/andrew-beal/?sh=468364783067

        Beal is a standout cause he actually predicted and prepared for the mess. https://www.forbes.com/2009/04/03/banking-andy-beal-business-wall-street-beal.html https://www.forbes.com/2009/04/03/banking-andy-beal-business... You're still pointing out individuals. In my eyes, the sum of the whole lot should have gone to jail long ago. Dimon and a whole bunch of other execs with him.

        Charles Schwab is also said to be worth $10 billion.

    Not officially anyway, if their money is in tax havens.
