We’re at the ‘do something about it or stop crying’. Protesting didn’t work. Voting didn’t work. The only option left is violence. These people should scared for their lives. Make them scared.
The fines are never for the amount stolen. Where is the deterrent?
The one that gets me is that HSBC was knowingly laundering money for drug cartels and got caught. Completely fucking caught. Not one piece of shit banker went to prison.
We don’t even warrant a scapegoat anymore. Just a big fuck you from the department of justice.
Oligarchy
Personhood without any of the responsibilities. I identify as a corporation now.
Cost of doing business
Light pole and rope=justice.
Usually they have to disgorge the profits earned too, that’s separate from fines
Silly question because google is no help. Does anyone know where the fines actually go? Assuming they’re actually paid at all.
> Corporations are people!
People die.
Most of the large fines I see are that banks didn’t have enough processes in place to detect money laundering from Russian and Mexican crime groups, because banks are supposed to be a police arm of the government, according to the goverment.
Corporations are people and we should be allowed to give them the death penalty.
This is going to carry on and get worse. Buckle up!
What the TDLR on those 10 banks doing this?
I was almost fired because I didn’t give a customer 21.56$ in change. I got caught up talking with the customer and just closed my cash drawer.
I got written up and 3 days unpaid leave.
I guess they shouldn’t look at the Goldman sach’s ceo deal 👀
Call in the French 🇫🇷
I’ll believe that corporations are people when they can be executed or spend life in prison.
The JustUs system is only meant to be used against we the people not the predator class
Blame the government.
Ditch your big bank. Find a local credit union.
Burn it fucking down. I am so fucking tired of this shit. EAT. THEM.
Doesn’t matter, America is Dead.
The average redditor wants to enrich the bank and give them more money and power. To spite the rich like Trump they want to send his money to the banks… Or Elon or Bezos. None of that money will go to making life affordable. That’s what class warfare is about.
As much as I’m all for what’s happening here, if people talking about it provided more than “They did it, trust me bro”, maybe we’d be getting farther along.
Lol, “educational” tag.
Could at least add sources and articles to have the perception of being legitimate.
Wells Fargo shouldn’t even exist. They are nothing more than organized crime.
Fines should be a reasonable multiple of the amount stolen to act as a deterrent, otherwise it’s just a cost of doing business. If you want the activity to stop you have to make it unprofitable, so the times you do get a conviction have to cover the well hidden stuff you couldn’t catch. 5x, 10x something like that. Make following the law the most profitable path and you’ll get law abiding companies (and citizens). Do what we’re doing now and this is what we end up with.
Violations like these should have relative fines, like 5 years profits, previous or next which ever is higher, and all C Suite execs are fined 5 years of pay, past or future whichever is higher, board of directors are barred from any similar roles ever.
Boooo fucking wooooo
Yes they are as per a Supreme Court ruling few decades ago. One of the reasons we are so fucked yo right now.
“Cost of doing business”
And they call us monsters when we want more people like Luigi smh.
So basically the banks were allowed to steal from the people, then had to give a cut to the government.
The government got paid, no further actions.
Sounds like mafia protection.
I want the sources for this info.
Kleptocracy. Just like they have in Russia.
shit at least something is being done where were yalls complaints when obama bailed out all the big banks while they increased their ceo’s salaries during the 2008 collapse
Any time the penalty for a crime is a fine … It’s a law for the poor only
occupy
Just the “cost of doing business” is unacceptable. Damages should have been so punitive none of these parasites would ever think to do it.
