In Financial Crisis, No Prosecutions of Top Figures
Keywords:
The lack of prosecutions after the financial crisis of 2008. Several reasons cited- the fragility of the financial system in 2009, the lack of support from regulatory agencies, the lack of funding for the FBI and the Justice Department to assign special resources for the effort. Even the most egregious cases such as the one at Countrywide have not been prosecuted, even from the standpoint of preventing the recurrence of such behaviours.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
