Elizabeth Warren's new 1%: the percentage of fraudulent profits companies pay in fines

I should add in the Big Short, where a few of the guys that anticipate the subprime collapse and decide to short the market by buying the credit default swaps (the insurance offered on the subprimes by AIG and others, which are also fraudulently rated triple AAA by Moody;'s and S&P etc) finally meet one the guys on the other side selling them and are floored to find out he doesn’t care, his purpose is to sell as much as he can because it somebody else’s money.

When you consider that Martha Stewart went to jail for much less, you know the system is rigged.
