This would be welcome. but how sad that the only crimes pursued waould be those against the Federal gov’t. How many homeowners have lost houses due to fraud, forgery, and fabricated documents. Yet the big banks get off with a slap on the wrist via the atty gen’l settlement.
I have been on the line to hear bank employees tell bald-faced lies to borrower-clients. That can only happen with the direction, express or implicit, of senior management. Whistleblowers confirm such policies. Yet fearful of “too big to fail” gov’t does nothing more than say, “Don’t do that again.”
