Is there a place for a logical counter-point in there not having been charges against people responsible for the 2008 financial crisis? It seems like a selective enforcement of rules or consequences in both situations to me.
It may be a non sequitur to suggest that the pardon of one convicted financial criminal is similar to the lack of convictions in another likely financial crime context, but it seemed germane and parallel to me.
- Operation Malicious Mortgage:
- > 400 arrested
- 173 convictions
- Operation Stolen Dream:
- ~500 arrested
- > 300 convictions
