Government wins, company loses nothing, consumers suffer. Ahhh, how that Ayn Rand capitalism thingy workin out for ya?
Barclays Bank and a few others were involved in manipulating the LIBOR system and admitted as such, the fines on Barclays were so paltry they amounted to something like four days profits
