OT(?)
Word for today(all people & institutions on Wall Street?)
flagitious \fluh-JISH-uhs\, adjective:
1. Disgracefully or shamefully criminal; grossly wicked; scandalous; -- said of acts, crimes, etc.
2. Guilty of enormous crimes; corrupt; profligate; -- said of persons.
3. Characterized by enormous crimes or scandalous vices; as, "flagitious times."

However flagitious may be the crime of conspiring to subvert by force the government of our country, such conspiracy is not treason.
--Ex parte Bollman & Swartwout, 4 Cranch 126 (1807)

Flagitious comes from Latin flagitiosus, from flagitium, "a shameful or disgraceful act," originally, "a burning desire, heat of passion," from flagitare, "to demand earnestly or hotly," connected with flagrare, "to blaze, to burn."
