Adam Liptak's interview with Judge Rakoff on the Justice Department's failure to prosecute individuals responsible in the 2008-2009 financial crisis
11/28/2011
Liptak's intervew comes as Judge Rakoff outlined his views on moral responsibility and the consequences of not holding responsible the individuals involved. He also speculates on why the Justice Department -including Bauer and Attorney General Holder- has failed to take action. On Holder's argument that this would have done damage to the U.S. economy, Rakoff says this violates the principle of equal responsibility before the law. As a result billions of dollars have been collected from corporations for violations but few individuals have been prosecuted and sentenced who were involved in activities leading to the crisis, and no serious deterrent for individuals established.

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.
