World banksters and their dirty little secrets...

Lower than pond scum.

BNP, Credit Suisse, Lloyds, et al get caught with their hands in the wrong cookie jar.

"Money-makes the world go around" is from a song if I'm not wrong and its true. money makes the world go around

Maybe some of the heads in these banks will be prosecuted and get some year in jail. will that help ? No! new heads will grow up and take their places

Nobody will go to jail. These banks factor the fines into their operating costs so they still come out on top and DC collects their pound of flesh, so to speak and everybody is happy. What a joke, eh?

I was thinking of Iceland. There they was prosecuted and jailed if I don't remember it wrong.

If they don't get any form for punishment for their action...then it is a joke

Nothing new or all that surprising really....money and riches have been the root of many an evil since times way back in the history of mankind.

True that. Let's give all the governments and their bankster buddies the ultimate weather gesture and go back to bartering goods and services.
