yet you have failed to provide even a single name as of yet. It's easily google-able that all of the major players got off scott-free.

- bandrami 9mo agoThere was an entire damn database put out by TARP of the hundreds of people they jailed before DOGE killed it. All you people who claim you care about this intently never even bothered to read it. Which is why I don't actually think people cared; they just want an excuse to be mad.
- elliotec 9mo agoWhere is this database? Say names. Literally even one. Who are the dozens of CEOs? Why would you make something like this up and spread misinformation? It's been 18 years, even if someone had big stake in the game I can't understand why they would lie about this so steadfastly. Look it up.
- bandrami 9mo agoI literally said "DOGE took it down" FFS it's like talking to goldfish whenever this particular topic comes up
- DoctorOetker 9mo agois it on the internet archive?
- bandrami 9mo agoI didn't really expect people to lose the ability to Google this quickly: https://www.housingwire.com/articles/38536-failed-bank-ceo-g https://www.housingwire.com/articles/38536-failed-bank-ceo-g... https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/former-president-and-ceo- https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/former-president-and-ceo-... https://oig.federalreserve.gov/releases/news-bekkedam-senten https://oig.federalreserve.gov/releases/news-bekkedam-senten... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2015/09/02/b https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2015/09/02/b...
- bandrami 9mo agoNow if you want to argue that the wrong 250 bankers went to jail, I'm open to discussing that, but the simple fact is you thought the number was zero until five minutes ago and rather than being happy you were wrong, you're annoyed. It's the most puzzling part of this, to me.
- momoschili 9mo agoI started by saying nobody that mattered and specified the largest companies who were involved. I think it's pretty easy to conclude I mean the C-suite in charge of the largest organizations that enabled and perpetuated the fraud. I don't care if a bunch of Bernie Madoff's lackeys went to jail if Bernie Madoff gets off Scott-free. I don't understand why you continue to misrepresent, but I think at this point it is malicious intent.

- rcxdude 9mo agoThis seems to corroborate the story: https://www.steptoe.com/en/news-publications/borrower-beware-series-part-iv-lessons-for-cares-act-participants-from-tarp-prosecutions.html https://www.steptoe.com/en/news-publications/borrower-beware... Though it sounds like they're mainly talking about bankers jailed for fraud related to the TARP loans themselves, as opposed to the mortgage fraud that precipitated the crisis.
- bandrami 9mo agoThere were examples of both. In most of the cases where they were jailed for fraud related to the TARP loans it was lying on the required audit about what their positions prior to the crash were.
- momoschili 9mo agolooks like it's mostly lackeys
