Crimes by Individuals Connected to Wall Street

Ask President Obama to direct the Attorney General of the United States to investigate evidence of crimes committed by individuals connected to Wall Street and international banks.

In April of 2011 the bi-partisan Levin-Coburn Report concluded that laws have been broken and that Federal regulators should review the activities described in the Report and identify any violations of law. To date, nothing has been done.

An example of just a few of the firms where there is reason to believe people have committed crimes and should be held accountable include:

The AIG case - There appears to be plenty of financial wrongdoing in the AIG case, however, the Department of Justice has reached a financial settlement. This means there will be no criminal indictments, although their is plenty of evidence that the individuals involved have committed crimes.

One of the largest British banks, Standard Chartered is alleged to have illegally laundered 250 billion in Iranian money through its actions in the United States, violating U.S. law. Name and bring charges against those involved.

Another major UK bank, HSBC has been accused of allowing rouge countries and illegal drug cartels to launder billions of dollars through its U.S. subsidiary. These individuals also need to be charged.

Back in 2006, Wachovia which is now part of Wells Fargo, was discovered to be the financial backer for Mexico’s murderous drug gangs. While criminal proceedings were brought against Wachovia and they paid a fine, no criminal charges were brought against any individual.

Tell President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that it’s time for individuals, not just corporations to be held accountable for the crimes they commit.
