Not only should they be paying full fines. The fines should be significantly bigger, ie. linked to the fraudulent profits. Having read Michael Lewis’ Flash Boys and now the Big Short I’m more convinced than ever just how much damage Wall Street has done all the while skimming off everyone else’s pensions and savings and tanking the world economy in the process. (There really ought to be jail time for the CEO’s and board members, if corporations have the same rights as humans they should take the same punishment.)
