Seems to be a high percentage of crooks in the F.I.RE. industries.

The problem is the rule of law is not being followed. When you allow people to come before congress and the courts and lie and obfuscate without any repercussions you set a dangerous and corrosive precedent.

When people see theft, corruption, and ponzi players being rewarded and allowed to enrich themselves and their cronies without dire and severe consequences they figure they might as well try and get their slice of the pie as well.
