"The system of corruption depends on another factor beyond secrecy, one that is perhaps even more
important: impunity. Impunity means that the rich and powerful escape from punishment even when their
malfeasance is in full view. Impunity is epidemic in America. The rich and powerful get away with their heists
in broad daylight.

Impunity is not an accidental or incidental defect of American society. It is a system foisted on us by the rich
and powerful, and it continues to work its magic. Our major institutions, the ones that should know better, are
often gross enablers of impunity.

The channels of corruption and secrecy havens are largely owned and operated by the big boys — the United
States and the UK — and depend absolutely on the gross impunity that prevails at the highest reaches of
power and finance in the United States."

Jeffrey Sachs, The Age of Impunity, 12 May 2016
