I absolutely agree that none of the big fish was prosecuted that was responsible for the financial crisis. Its unfortunate that a person like Rajat was put up in jail on circumstantial evidence only when he received no kick backs and all the big and filthy fishes were out having fun.

unnecessarily, he was targeted just to divert attention..so big fish can avoid scrutiny and punishment .

Always watch out for rich keynesians advocating for more government spending and even taxing the rich in the process. There’s always a hidden motive. They call cryptocurrencies bad because they’ll go out of business, or at least it won’t be as profitable.
