EFTA01199587 | EFTA01199591 Every so often you will read or see something that is a real eye-opener and earlier this month I had one of these experiences. It was Bill Moyers interview with William K. Black titled: Too Big to Jail? Moyers sets the stage with this premise — "As you've heard, Eric I lolder has announced that he's resigning as Attorney General. He will leave behind a mixed scorecard: A for civil rights, C for civil liberties and F for failing to prosecute the banking executives who brought about the financial calamity of 2008. Holder let the bankers off the hook individually as he negotiated civil settlements with their institutions for issuing mortgage-backed securities tied to faulty subprime loans. The billions of dollars in penalties the banks are paying will largely be borne by shareholders and by taxpayers as the banks write off the fines as the cost of doing business. The executives get off scot free." Hey this just can't be. Remember it was these guys whose institutions' policies brought the world's financial system to the brink of collapse. From the open policy of 'Liars Loans' to admitting the rigging of LIBOR to or engaging in appraisal fraud) that actually generated losses were booked as if they produced enormous gains (and overstate their capital) during the expansion phase of the bubble. Executives at these institutions created fictional profits and minimized real losses, which massively overstated bank capital and allowed them to escape TARP limits on executive compensation which made the officers even wealthier because they made terrible loans and because they covered up the losses on those terrible loans. If the Mafia had done this every single federal prosecutor would be employing the RICO stature. So how come these Masters of the Universe on Wall Street are not doing hard time? And why these rogue financial institutions aren't labeled the criminal syndicates and cartels that their behavior suggests? For those of you who don't know of William IC Black he is an American lawyer, academic, author, and a former bank regulator. Black's expertise is in white-collar crime, public finance, regulation, and other topics in law and economics. He developed the concept of "controlfraud", in which a business or national executive uses the entity he or she controls as a "weapon" to commit fraud. Black was litigation director for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FIILBB) from 1984 to 1986, deputy director of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) in 1987, and Senior VP and the General Counsel of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco from 1987 to 1989, which regulated some of the largest thrift banks in the U.S. Black came to prominence as a central figure in exposing Congressional corruption during the Savings and Loan Crisis. He took the notes during the Keating Five meeting that were later published in the press, and brought the event to national attention and a congressional investigation. Black is the former Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention who now teaches Economics and Law at the University ofMissouri, Kansas City. During the savings and loan crisis, it was Black who accused then-house speaker Jim Wright and five US Senators, including John Glenn and John McCain, of doing favors for the S&L's in exchange for contributions and other perks. The senators got off with a slap on the wrist, but so enraged was one of those bankers, Charles Keating — after whom the senates so-called "Keating Five" were named — lie sent a memo that read, in part, 'get Black — kill ham dead.' Metaphorically, of course. Of course.' The 15 major banks have agreed to pay $128 billion in fines and although this may be an incomprehensible sum to most of us, it's worth considering just how monumental these banks are in comparison. While the American banking industry alone has racked up nearly $503 billion in profits, according to FDIC quarterly data through the first quarter of 2014. These fines have made occasional dents in some quarterly earnings, but they're effectively drops in the banks' buckets compared to their greater profits. In the meantime, Bank of America is one of the most active stocks on the Big Board, rising 4 times in price from a 2009 low of $3.87 to around 816 a share. You could have bought it at $5.00 a share at the close of 2011, when its fines were a negative market influence. JP Morgan Chase sold at $22.35 in early March 2009, the market bottom; today it is nearing $6o a share, which is very nearly a triple in 51/2 years. Citigroup has basically quintupled from a low of $so to $5o, after a reverse 1share for to shares split deep into the crisis. Obviously for these self-described 'too big to fail' financial intuitions, the fines are just the cost of doing business. And as Black says, "no one can claim with a straight face that if we prosecuted bankers, as opposed to banks, that it wouldhave any negative effect.It would have hugepositive effects in sending the right message of accountability and the right message o/ deterrence." Worse was the contention that the little guy was the culprit, when in fact it was the bank executives who had deliberately created the fraudulent loans to enrich themselves. They pulled off the classic shell game. Bait and switch. Take the money and run. Let ordinary people suffer the consequences. Let's remember that it was the lenders who deliberately made massive amounts of fraudulent loans and then sold these massive amounts of fraudulent loans through additional frauds to the secondary market and eventually brought down the global financial system. In a recent case in Sacramento, where a federal jury acquitted four mortgage holders charged with fraud after hearing testimony that bank executives had pulled out all the stops to seduce them into taking out those toxic loans. One of the key expert witnesses in that case is with me now. Bill Black's testimony helped blow up the prosecution's case And the testimony that came out in the case is that the agents, the FBI agents and the IRS agents simply assumed that the banks were the victims and the bankers were the victims and simply assumed that the little people, were the problem in all of this. So they never even investigated the banks and the bankers. I would think that mortgage fraud also includes banks such as JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and others who packaged loans that they knew did not pass its own stated due diligence test even though several whistleblowers say that when they expressed concerns about the strength of these mortgage-backed securities were told to shut up and their banks put them out there to the market and said that they were perfectly fine when in fact they were not.It was this conduct by JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America and Wells Fargo and other banks doing similar kinds of things that led directly to the collapse of our economy in 2008 and in 2009. Both Moyers and Black agree that Eric Holder not bringing one criminal case against any executives in charge of the banks' lending was possibly one of the greatest strategic failure in the history of the Department of Justice.
