This is just a sideshow. The real travesty was summed up by the director of the Oscar winning documentary "Inside Job" in his acceptance speech that evening - "Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong."
Was true then and it remains true today.
