Heh...One small fish in a large ocean of sharks. The infinite cess pool of criminality and fraud which is known as Goldman Sachs...

Who knows if he'll actually see any jail time though, as more often thaqn not these crooks just BUY their way out of prosecution, or their puppet "lawmakers" and sold out "justice system" just let's them skate.

But in a dream world, this guy gets sentenced to 20 years, and starts rolling on some of the REALLY BIG PLAYERS, and the dominoes start tumbling...

Hey, I can dream.

I will take any victory we can get. The whole financial terrorism game is a crime on an inconceivable scale.

24 trillion dollars given to the top .01 percent. Ugh.

This may be why the head of Golden Sacks recently carried Obama's water saying cutting the fat out of spending would be bad for the economy. That was an odd thing to say given we are at 11 trillion in debt now! Someone was trying to buy political brownie points and legal protection.
