The guy should do time. His picks from GS should be canned. All former GS Treasury and Fed appointments should be investigated. The practice of putting investment bank people into positions in the Fed and Treasury should be stopped. We need people with the experience of USING banking services in those positions, not people with the experience of PROFITING from banking services. After criticizing the Russians for their oligarchy, it seems WE have an oligarchy of our own, consisting of CEOs and investment bankers.

"Are there 2 sets of justice in America? One for the politically-connected elites, and another for the taxpayers?" Yes, but not officially in public. For most of us, making a mistake in 'tax payments', would invites costly, unbearable punishment from the gov/IRS. For the elites, they are explainable offenses and is no big deal. It may actually be fashionable to make 'mistake in tax payments' in the inner-circle, and exchanging stories and ideas during gatherings, team buildings.
