Ponzi schemer Stanford's lawyer-collaborator Greenberg Traurig settles for under 1% of scam, no jail : The Komisar Scoop

Nov 6, 2019 - What happens when a major U.S. law firm helps a client steal billions from his victims in the largest Ponzi scheme after Bernie Madoff? When it‘s a well-connected U.S. law firm, nobody goes to jail and it has to settle only for less than 1 percent of the take. And of course, this...

Yep, the USA has jailed no real major players since the Keating 5.

That's why Trump will probably spend zero days in jail or prison, but the sold-out corporatist gov. wants to keep our eyes dazzled with the hopes of the 'Murcan dream and other fairy tales, so they keep peddling the bullshit about 'equal protections under the laws' and other fantasy nonsense to anyone without eyes who isn't conscious enough to see the reality and isn't offended to no end by being patronized or placated with fibs.

And for now, the FTC has reportedly banned 'non-competition contracts/mandates', though there's A LOT of skepticism that their ban will withstand the pro-corporatist SCOTUS we currently have. Who also seem to be pondering to what degree a President (apparently 'monarch' to some of them) is immune from being held accountable for otherwise-criminal actions while in office.

Just what we needed. More immune or quasi-immune criminals in government, and now with the potential blessing of the motherfuckers who are -supposed- to be part of the checks and balances.

I guess they missed the writings of the Founders re. what it was like to operate under a monarchy.
