| #2 US official corruption is as stupendous as the national debt. From CBS News last night, Steve Kroft: It's been three years since the financial crisis crippled the American economy, and much to the consternation of the general public and the demonstrators on Wall Street, there has not been a single prosecution of a high-ranking Wall Street executive or major financial firm even though fraud and financial misrepresentations played a significant role in the meltdown...We begin with a woman named Eileen Foster, a senior executive at Countrywide Financial, one of the epicenters of the crisis. Behind the financial crisis: A fraud investigator talks Steve Kroft: Do you believe that there are people at Countrywide who belong behind bars? Eileen Foster: Yes. Kroft: Do you want to give me their names? Foster: No. Kroft: Would you give their names to a grand jury if you were asked? Foster: Yes. But Eileen Foster has never been asked - and never spoken to the Justice Department - even though she was Countrywide's executive vice president in charge of fraud investigations. |
