Bank of America, JPMorgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and other large banks settled securities fraud claims with the Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose the risks of subprime mortgages they sold to the investing public. But a corporation cannot commit fraud except through human beings working at and managing the firm. Rather than breaking up these powerful megabanks, essentially imposing a corporate death penalty, the government simply accepted fines that essentially punished innocent shareholders instead of senior leaders at the megabanks. It allowed the real wrongdoers to walk away from criminal responsibility. In The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty, Mary Kreiner Ramirez and Steven A. Ramirez examine the best available evidence about the wrongdoing underlying the financial crisis. They reveal that the government failed to use its most powerful law enforcement tools despite overwhelming proof of wide-ranging and large-scale fraud on Wall Street before, during, and after the crisis. The pattern of criminal indulgences exposes the onset of a new degree of crony capitalism in which the most economically and political powerful can commit financial crimes of vast scale with criminal and regulatory immunity. A new economic royalty has seized the commanding heights of our economy through their control of trillions in corporate and individual wealth and their ability to dispense patronage. The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty shows that this new lawlessness poses a profound threat that urgently demands political action and proposes attainable measures to restore the rule of law in the financial sector. 606 $aFinancial institutions$xCorrupt practices$zUnited States 606 $aFinancial institutions$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aFinancial services industry$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aSubprime mortgage loans$zUnited States 606 $aDerivative securities$zUnited States 606 $aCommercial crimes 606 $aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aFinancial institutions$xCorrupt practices 615 0$aFinancial institutions$xGovernment policy 615 0$aFinancial services industry$xGovernment policy 615 0$aSubprime mortgage loans 615 0$aDerivative securities 615 0$aCommercial crimes. 615 0$aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009. 676 $a332.10973 700 $aRamirez$b Mary Kreiner, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228554 702 $aRamirez$b Steven A., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154845303321 996 $aThe Case for the Corporate Death Penalty$92852109 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01296nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00030977 005 20231205102101.28 100 $a20020107d1965 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aIL 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aSphinxes and harpies in medieval Islamic art$ean iconographical study$fby Eva Baer 205 $aJerusalem : The Israel Oriental Society$b1965 210 $axvi$d109 p.$d55 p. di tav. ; 21 x 30 cm 215 $aEsempl. in fotocopia 410 1$1001UON00065667$12001 $aOriental notes and studies$fEditorial board S.D.
