I would add that in the short term, maybe Geithner's decision was a good one to prevent full collapse, but prosecuting the banks 6 years later, when we are out of the crisis, should be more than doable. Delay may be prudent but that's all it should be: delay.
- lostlogin 12y agoI disagree. Delaying things is all fine and good to do maybe once, but after the technique has been seen subsequent offenders will spend the time between the crime and being charged with a shredder. Don't forget that these crimes are still hurting people on the other side of the world. An immediate legal sledgehammer sends a clear message that bs won't be tolerated. Short term pain for long term gain. Edit: just to emphasize the point, people I went to school with are having trouble borrowing money right now as part of the fallout from this saga. That's far away in New Zealand. At least there is hope for change and ways of trying to get it if you live in the US. What's someone in another country to do?
