Send Market Criminals to Prison

Let me get this straight. Five giant banks set up a secret chat room where they fraudulently changed the EURO-Dollar exchange rate to profit on currency trades. And the only punishment is paying $5.7 billion of shareholder money? Prison. Send the men who did this and the officers who should have been supervising them to prison. Let’s see Jamie Dimon drop a cuff link in a perp walk. Let’s see those smug, all-for-me-nothing-for-you crooks spend even a year in prison for defrauding the world – the world – of billions of dollars. Until one of their own goes to prison, they won’t care about the depths of depravity committed by their subordinates. If men who rig the international markets don’t lose their freedom for stealing billions of dollars, then no crook who stole less from a single person should go to prison.
