As a US citizen, I'm jealous they take corporate malfeasance seriously.

I really don't understand all the down votes for those questioning the US criminal system and it's treatment of corporate America.

The Op was just pointing out the US criminal system does seem to go easy when it comes to corporate malfeasance.

For evidence of this, you only have to look at the outcomes of the GFC.

In that instance the there was only one US conviction and that was a low level employer.

Compare that to Iceland where they sent their top bank chief executives to jail over that exact same GFC disaster.
