[Occupymendocino] The Rumored Chase-Madoff Settlement Is Another Bad Joke

[Mark Safron]

There's only one thing to say about this "reluctance" to prosecute (and the "fear" and "concern" for lost jobs that allegedly drives it): It's a joke.  

Yes, you might very well lose some jobs if you go around indicting huge companies on criminal charges. You might even want to avoid doing so from time to time, if the company is worth saving.  

But individuals? There’s absolutely no reason why the state can't proceed against the actual people who are guilty of crimes.
