  > because one group gets away with bad behaviour does that mean we should excuse everyone's bad behaviour That's not what was said, nor was it what was meant. I explicitly mentioned prosecuting both of them, but brought up the blind spots that contain the larger problems. Paying a lot more attention to the much smaller problem is not logical. > Anyway global regulators are doing all they can to clean up the banks and have them pay restitution for their actions. So it's not like they are being allowed to carry on either. Not as far as I know. Citation needed of the number of bankers prosecuted or jailed for malfeasance. And to why it can't happen again.

Oh, you mean like how the credit default swap market is back to 2008 levels already? Perhaps you're referring to how clearly illegal behavior (HSBC) was settled without any well-earned prosecutions? Yes, they are definitely on the case! Just after we remove some of these undesirables first...
