For real. People do horrible things to each other on purpose, and get waaaaay less jail time.

Yeah, Wachovia bank literally laundered billions for the mexican cartels and was fined a few million (which amounts more to the government getting their cut, than an actual penalty). Then they merged with Wells Fargo and now apparently everything is hunky doory.

But this guy takes a lot of fajitas. Life in jail.

Unbelievable. You can get away with anything as long as you have enough money and/or lawyers. So it's a system that is rigged against the poor, and rigged for the rich, because money for lawyers determines who wins.

It's a sick, sick, broken system, pardon my rant.
