Oh this is rich.
I am sorry this is research poor .Your gut reaction comes from your heart and your emotions are blinding your judgement .What is being done here was not an attack on You Personally or Your Country or fellow Citizens .Wall St is Multi National and just happens be in the United States of America . Wall St is where the economic slide began and the Major Banking Corporations there warrant an investigation period ! No one is bashing you .You have more in common with the people of Greece than the people you are defending .We all need to breathe and put things in perspective . We the people need to come together on this , We all have this in common regardless of where we are in the globe . We are all in this together .

Firstly you seem to know very little about how "Europe" works..
Secondly.. So you are saying there was no US banking fraud involved in the Global Crash?
This is a joke right?
Because its hilarious..

I would like to point out that you were also being condescending to my continent in your rant.. And its "Bank Of Germany" rubbish..
Where exactly was I insulting you?
The deregulation by US politicians, namely Bill Clinton, paved the way for the US banks to begin selling toxic assets throughout the world as safe mid yield investments.. This is why many people point the finger at the US.. But obviously, banks worldwide were and are involved in the scam..
BUT!!!!!
Goldman Sachs and Jp Morgan were the two banks that conned Greece and the EU..
These two banks are US banks..
Therefore, their investigation means US banks are being investigated..
I don't understand where the big issue is.. If Deutsche Bank was being investigated, they would be investigating a German bank.. But they aren't..
