Big Banks get called on by the justice system for stealing Billions or laundering Billions of Drug Dollars. They get a few million dollar fine for a Billion Dollar Crime. Us regular folks steal something worth a hundred dollars and we could spend 5 to 10 years in jail after being in front of a judge. The Bankers do not even have to see a judge. They have the bank lawyers settle the case for a fraction of what was taken.
Long but interesting article. Taibbi is another great investigative journalist I like to read.
