Why Is It … ?

Why is it that the Feds can go after online gambling, but not one person in the international banking scandal that brought down half the world's economies is even being investigated?

Don't get me wrong. I'm no friend of online gambling. I don't even support the idea of state run lotteries. But come on, folks, nothing has been more criminal in the area of economics than the banking scandals, and there isn't even one case being investigated?

One is left to suppose that if banks are too important to fail bankers are too important to charge when they commit criminal behavior. Important how? Because they contribute too much money to politicians?

We had no trouble going after the criminals in the savings and loan fiasco twenty years ago. Why not now?
