Joke's on you, bankers didn't serve any jail time for 2008. Having said that, I agree 9 years seems extensive. We're just accustomed to these long prison terms

Joke's on you, bankers didn't serve any jail time for 2008. Having said that, I agree 9 years seems extensive. We're just accustomed to these long prison terms. I would have thought 2-3 years plus fines, maybe 5. The US has the largest prison population in the world both by capita and in total numbers. This is an indication that something is horribly wrong.
