Just 2 years ago Jon Corzine openly stole $5 billion from investors and the FBI and DOJ didn't even investigate.

We're talking about priorities here. Should the government spend limited resources to investigate bankers who steal $5 billion or some bookies? You don't think the bankers and lobbyists are corrupting the system? You need to stop defending political and corporate corruption and cronyism.


People do awful things all the time that aren't necessarily illegal.

What's your point, that the FBI shouldn't investigate the mob because there are shady bankers?

Grow up.


No, thats not my point
My point is for the FBI to spend my hard earned tax money investigating octageneariens trying to get a foot in a casino, is wasteful and shows a complete lack of priorities.
maybe, just maybe the FBI should have been looking at sleeper cells back in 2001 instead of Mulbury street


Been there and done it
I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
