Intro: "The Goldman Sachs CEO didn't get a big-time criminal-defense lawyer because he's worried about an SEC wrist slap - there's a real possibility of doing time, says former Goldman managing director Nomi Prins."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

It's as if an automobile manufacturer knowingly put faulty brakes in their cars, denied that they did it or knew it, and then took out life insurance policies on the people who bought their cars.
In other words, a criminal and immoral act.

How come "tough on crime" is never applied to the Executive Class?
As individuals we have to bundle together and take these guys to court and not bitch and moan because the "leaders" don't. There aren't any leaders for the citizenry. Stop blaming the "others" and seek Justice on our own. We have to learn that we are not represented in this Gov't system. We have to represent ourselves in whatever way possible.
Maybe the ACLU would like to get in on this one. If anybody's civil liberties were shredded it certainly was the AMerican public in this instance.
"The Obama administration appears to have delayed (deferred, suspended, or slowed) prosecution and civil litigation against executives of banks, mortgage companies, and other financial entities presumably until the economy recovers sufficiently so as not to interfere with that recovery.
"Do you, sir, plan to re-institute and/or reinvigorate these deferred investigations, prosecutions, and civil litigations against financial executives and entities implicated in causing the economic collapse when the economy recovers?"
And we know how Kahn's rape case was "won".
I think we've already had all the "Hope" we need. We need action now to take back our government which hasn't been even close to "of the People" since that scumbag Teddy Roosevelt. And 'The Fed' needs to be the first to go. Amschel Bauer AKA Rothschild once said: "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws." He was right then. He still is today.
Though it is commonly believed that Geithner worked for Goldman he never actually was on their payroll although, I agree, Geithner certainly worked to benefit Goldman.

how the industry is "self" regulated.
this pattern is repeated with Blankfein
"Blankfein is a contributor to mostly Democratic party candidates and donated $4,600 to Democratic Party candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2007.[11] Goldman employees and their relatives contributed almost a million dollars to Barack Obama's presidential campaign — making it "the company from which Obama raised the most money in 2008" — and Blankfein has visited the White House ten times as of February 2011.[12] Former Goldman executives who hold senior positions in the Obama administration include Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Mark Patterson, a former Goldman lobbyist who is chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; and Robert Hormats, the undersecretary of state for economic, energy and agricultural affairs"
sure Clinton and Obama will prosecute their contributors! As Kucinich asks in different context - Lloyd_Blankfein is the boss.
I've never advocated capital punishment or war / killing but NOW I believe these evils and their sponsors are committing treason and should be put to death (can't remember exactly but it went something like "give me liberty or give me death)
Even THAT would be too good for these greedy free-lance criminals. Let's pray that Blankenfein will be the FIRST OF MANY!
Only if his town car happens upon one in traffic.
