“The sacrifices of friendship were beautiful in her eyes as long as she was not asked to make them.”
—Hector Hugh Munro, British novelist, born December 18, 1870
Read this piece about how the Federal government has addressed the potential criminality involved in the financial crisis in 2008 by Jed S. Rakoff, United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York. Comparisons with how the Savings and Loan and Junk Bond débâcles were treated are highly instructive. The five year statute of limitations on prosecutions is just about up, you’ll be happy to hear. Then it’s home for the holidays with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, and his family.
