I’m writing because my family and I were affected by the the criminally induced economic collapse of 2008, and we don’t want it to happen again. Use RICO against these serial sociopathic malefactors.

Wall Street greed and outrageous pay practices were a major cause of the collapse. One way to change the incentives so they don’t collapse our economy again would be to delay the bonuses for three, five or more years. That way, we’ll know if the loans they made in year one remain good. In the bad days, bankers paid themselves on the volume of loans (mortgages) they generated, not on their quality.

Thank you for considering my comment,
