It will never happen, but it clearly should. Some of the crimes they've been charged with are quite serious in my opinion. For instance assisting in drug cartel money laundering and market manipulation (LIBOR, FOREX, Energy, Mortgage market). They make billions of dollars, pay a small percentage in fines, and then keep on doing whatever they want.

I sometimes wonder though—who would this really hurt, to strip these banks of their licenses? The wealthy execs who masterminded these schemes? Or the thousands of people who had nothing to do with it, and will end up losing their jobs over it? That’s the sad reality of it, frankly. Unless the bank personnel responsible for the crimes do jail time, taking away these banks’ licenses will do little more than hurt our economy further, and increase unemployment .It will have global ramifications, as well. Just my $.02.

If others can complain about their 2nd amendment rights being taken away, I can complain about the government being bought and paid for. Until I get my land out away from all you people that is.

Wait a second.....

Top executives at JP Morgan conspired in and were party to one of the largest if not the largest Wall Street frauds ever which financially affected every single individual that owned a share of stock in a company and where many individuals were defrauded millions. And not only did not one of them spend one day in jail or spend one minute with cuffs on, the innocent JP Morgan shareholder who knew nothing about this illegal activity got stiffed with a $1.7 billion bill.

What a country we live in!!!

I don't want them in jail, we need the space for violent offenders.  However, I would be OK with them having to put 70-80% of their earnings, for the rest of their life, into a fund to pay back investors.

They can probably pay all back by rounding down their golden parachute.

I'm sure you're aware but it's far more than just the recent Madoff settlement. I believe in the last few years JPM has paid over $20B in fines to settle cases. But of course they're just "doing God's work".

Prison never does...just ask ask any murder victim. But until we figure out another way to pay for your wrong doings other that giving up you freedom, I have to disagree with you that these executive shouldn't spend some time in prison.

I disagree.....prison can, and should,  keep violent offenders away from their victims and gives them some peace of mind while the offender is locked up. (permanently if I were king)  Murder makes up a very small percentage of violent crime. 

I just gave you an alternative to locking up these people and taking up needed prison space......you sanction every dollar they will ever make in their life.  They are on the hook to the govt. and the people they defrauded for as long as it takes to pay back the losses and penalties.  Leave them enough money to live at the poverty level.

Actually, I was not aware. $20 billion? I just don't know what to say to that other than it gives further evidence as to why the only two things I invest in is real estate I manage and buy-ins at the poker table.

The stock market is a crooked game.

I seem to often hear of white collar crime victims committing suicide after they lost everything....that is not much different than pulling the trigger in a common corner liquor store robbery gone bad.

So prison has no other purpose than to prevent a criminal from committing a crime? I am not an expert in criminal justice but I think paying your debt to society still applies as something society agrees to equate to justice.

How are fines and penalties an appropriate deterrent to white collar crime? Smart business people who have figured out these grand schemes are not scared of fines and government sanction because they can always figure out a way to beat the system. But, they are scare of prisons because even the smart business people can never figure out a way to make up for lost time.

i am not going to question your observations from you experience within the justice system because I have zero interviews of crime victims under my belt.

However, I have a lifetime of experience in being one of the citizens that the justice system which you are a part of serves. And one of the things I expect from the justice system when it comes to white collar crime is to preserve the integrity of the markets. From my citizen perspective, the justice system has created two different and unfair playing fields. One for connected Wall Street type executives one and one for the common folk. When us common folk continually see examples that the system you work in gives a special set of rules for the connected that we don't have, that weakens the integrity of the markets and threatens the very foundation of the economy. Who is going to participate in a market rigged against them? I am not criticizing you directly but your comments reinforces the attitude of the entire justice system that has been stuck to long in the weeds and has forgotten its role as a civil institution.

Your victim may want their money back, but the citizens demand a hanging. Without it, you further lose our trust.

When us common folk continually see examples that the system you work in gives a special set of rules for the connected that we don't have, that weakens the integrity of the markets and threatens the very foundation of the economy. Who is going to participate in a market rigged against them? I am not criticizing you directly but your comments reinforces the attitude of the entire justice system that has been stuck to long in the weeds and has forgotten its role as a civil institution. Your victim may want their money back, but the citizens demand a hanging. Without it, you further lose our trust.

The justice system protects victims and suspects/perpetrators.(as best it can and, while not perfect, it is still considered the model for the world)  The citizens don't get to decide who hangs.  You don't have to like it, and I don't either sometimes, but I understand why it has to be that way.  The justice system has not forgotten it's role, you just think you should have more of a say in it than what your vote gets you.......you don't.  It has to be that way to maintain ANY integrity, and it most certainly should always error on the side of leniency IMO.

Don't worry about me taking the criticism personally......I don't get my feelings hurt, I don't get offended, and I enjoiy hearing other viewpoints.

Soon after I got married, I decided I needed to get motivated to work out and focus on getting back into shape. I could barely jog a quarter-mile without needing a walk break.

I’m a 240lb man, and I run relatively long distances. How would you recommend training for marathon and IM distances as heavy as I am?

It sounds like your ankle has seen plenty of mileage and, by the description of your surgeon’s plan, that you have damage to the articular cartilage that caps your talus bone.
