Financial Racketeering: Send Corrupt Bankers to Prison

Buy your own t-shirt and tell the world you want justice!

As a protective corporate reaction to the economic and fiscal banking crisis that corrupt bankers have brought upon the nation and the world, bankers have sought to hide the true nature and scope of the toxic assets that they hold. The government has been frustrated in its attempts to truly grasp or know the true situation because of corporate trickery and subterfuge on the part of many banking institutions as bankers often continue to operate their own protection racket. Yet, once bankers have been bailed out by the federal government for their short-sided thinking and the development of corrupt speculative banking instruments, some have sought to pay the debt back with the hopes of continuing the banking gravy train for themselves including unsupervised and virtually unlimited pay perks. From the reaction of the Federal Reserve, accounting standards appear to be lacking as bankers continue the attempt to operate their own private corporate racketeering.

With the expectation of countermanding this continued rebellion by bankers, the Federal Reserve has issued new accounting rules which will have a material effect on banking organizations’ accounting for off-balance sheet vehicles. The legislation will take hold in 2010 to address weaknesses in accounting and disclosure standards for off-balance banking instruments.

The Fed is also reviewing regulatory capital standards for bankers based on their experience in the banking bailout which they expect to apply to banking institutions, further cramping the style of many bankers. As a result of the review of new banking capital standards for bankers, the U.S. government is not eager to immediately accept paybacks of bailout money. The U.S. government apparently believes that the bailout has functioned as a fairly reasonable control lever in temporarily reigning in the ongoing greed within the banking community. ~ E. Manning
