Keiser Report: Banking Looters (E173)

This week Max Keiser and co-host, Stacy Herbert, observe the British shock that there is no society. In the second half of the show Max talks to former bank regulator, William K. Black about the absence of justice for banking crimes and whether or not the population plays a role in demanding this justice.

Which banking crimes would those be?

Presumably the banking practices that the Labour government of the time explicitly allowed and encouraged?

No laws broken ergo no crime.

Max Keiser is a professional idiot. Take a look at his website if you want a good chuckle

Saw this guy on RT yesterday, total nutter. I like watching RT sometimes since they have some interesting anti-American views, and CrossTalk is alright.

NathanE · 17 Aug 2011 at 14:00

RT is just a bizarre channel altogether really.

The guy is speaking rubbish.

"London ghettos"? WTF? Do they exist? No, Peckham and Tottenham are not ghettos.

Also Barclays and HSBC, if memory serves, were not bailed out. They managed to weather the storm on their own feet.

government makes the laws who are supported by corrupt bankers so of course laws won't be broken but i guess it's ok for corrupt investment banks to loot you rather than a yob looting a apple store lol :rolleyes:

It's argued, quite reasonably IMO, that if there had been no bailout at all those two would also have been affected as the situation degraded.

Please provide further details on the corrupt investment banks, and how they looted us.

Generally speaking, it was only a matter of time before some crazy lefty started to refer the the bankers as looters :rolleyes:

Indeed, which I'm sure must have been part of the reasoning behind providing the bail-outs.

I wasn't looted by the banks.

I feel like I've missed out.

Don't worry - neither was I.

I think it must just have been the OP or lefties in general.

The Iron triangle...If theres no law to break, theres no crime.

Very US oriented, but you can see how it is.

The only "looting" was the PPI scandal, really...derivatives and the like, well they are complex for a reason, if we knew what they were at the time, we could call it "wilfully" handing over money to them, pretty much our fault for the most part, but we are the "majority" here.
