That is true, but big banks occasionally get caught by the SEC and go to jail/get punished, too.

So why whine when mobsters get caught and go to jail?

As a logical construct it's nonsensical to say that ubiquitous corruption translates to corruption being acceptable.

It just means that the mob has a lot of company in the sewer.



No, you misunderstand, I am not talking about breaking the law...I am talking about private equity companies buying half plus one percent of a company in the form of "venture capital" where the company pays dividends in the form of interest, and the very same day the companies infrastructure becomes valued higher then it's projected profit, they lock the gathes and sell off everything
Perfectly legal
We had a presidential candidate in that business
How is the HELL is that any different from a Shylock buying into a business, running it in to the ground and then busting it out???
There is NO difference, except the Shylock goes to prison, and Mitt Fucking Romney retires in Utah
Now apply RICO to things outside LCN
Why weren't the CEOs of Worldcom and ENRON charged under the RICO statutes?
Were they not "part of an ongoing criminal enterprise"?
You see where I am going here?
