The sale of Lehman Brothers to Barclays Bank was advertised as the last minute, a desperate sale. How does Barclays manage to get an extra $5 billion as part of the deal? One of the reasons why the Ministry of Justice does not prosecute banks that are too big to fail, or their senior management, is that they have a lot of money and many lawyers to postpone and postpone the case until the government gives up. For smaller targets, the government is more likely to look better. Obviously, the bank agreed to pay billions of dollars without pleading guilty, or even "money-out" agreements to launder money or deal with Colombian drug cartel money. [Really?] There is a story of a group of billionaire hedge fund managers who use dirty techniques to plot to drive a Canadian insurance company to go bankrupt. Countrywide Financial deliberately didn't want to know people's financial health and the details of their borrowing. They are happy to provide loans to almost everyone.
On the other hand, how does the prison population in the United States rise while the rate of violent crime declines? The answer is: stop and be active. Do you know that standing on the sidewalk in front of the New York City house will allow you to be arrested and thrown into a nearby police car? After the court system, charged with blocking pedestrian traffic [even if there are no other people on the sidewalk], you may be back in front of your house. This time, you are standing on the edge of the sidewalk, almost on the street. Ready to be arrested again and charged with blocking traffic [even if you are not actually on the street].
The new criminal court in the United States appears to be a welfare applicant and recipient. The author did not say that complaints about welfare fraud should not be investigated and prosecuted when necessary. What do you mean by everyone trying to deceive the system? This is not the case of "sinful before being proved innocent", but "we know that you are guilty, and we will always prove it."
This book is easy to reach the level of wow. This is a very eye-opening, quite frustrating, look at the life of the United States today. Very highly recommended for all Americans.
