No, the guys who f'ed up our economy in 2008 are still in office.

No surprise this came out of Atlanta - in the same leagues of corruption as Detroit.

Our exchange heated up quickly. By the time we got to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, we weren’t quite shouting, but we were definitely raising our voices. At this point -- early in 2013 -- Rich Cordray was still serving as director of the consumer agency under a recess appointment; he hadn’t yet been confirmed by the Senate, which meant that the agency was vulnerable to legal challenges over its work. Dimon told me what he thought it would take to get Congress to confirm a director, terms that included gutting the agency’s power to regulate banks like his. By this point I was furious. Dodd-Frank had created default provisions that would automatically go into effect if there was no confirmed director, and his bank was almost certainly not in compliance with the those rules. I told him that if that happened, “I think you guys are breaking the law.”

Suddenly Dimon got quiet. He leaned back and slowly smiled. “So hit me with a fine. We can afford it.”

In the bigger picture of grand fraud this is a total non-story
So what, they only got away with a little bit of money

The problem is, as I see it, we for some reason hold teachers to a higher standard than we hold Bankers
We hold teachers to a higher standard than we hold Lawyers
We hold teachers to a higher standard than we hold Political figures

I get the entertainment value of the story (obviously its hilarious and brimming with hypocrisy)
But this can't even hold a candle to the rampant fraud perpetrated on the American Tax payer in recent history

I'm bored with this story, it only impacted kids and school finances for a decade or so.

So, quick...look over there! That is something I care about! Hey everyone, care about that stuff I say is important!





You don't have kids...that is a good thing.

Union leeches just like all teachers.

Cuck, why don't you man up and tell your lazy ass wife to get herself a non union gig and stop letting the union protect her incompetence? Your trolling just aint the same knowing you're a garden variety union dependent....

Fascinating observation - yes - I pay taxes so your kids can go to school
But my point was more sarcastically observing what matters on a grand scale
Crashing the entire worlds economy and getting richer while doing it will have about the same News Cycle as this Teacher Fraud case

Seriously, why can't they just pay a fine and be done with it. Jail time seems a bit excessive.

That's what Bankers do...
They basically tell Congress to F*ck off and send them the bill
They don't care how many laws they broke - and apparently neither do we

kkkleany is just pissed because they're all black. If the criminals were white, he would have volunteered to drive the paddy wagon and drop them off at the prison.

Big difference. The bankers PAY for the congressmen's campaigns....

They didn't want to cop a plea like all the other implicated teachers did. Once you make them take you to court then you risk what happened. Probably didn't help that they didn't think they did anything wrong.
