Iceland did not "jail their bankers", where do you get your news from?

I don't understand. There were 15 people jailed who took part in illegal activities. But the vast majority of Icelandic bankers did not take part in illegal activities. They just did a really really bad job. Therefore they weren't jailed.

Unless you think that Iceland only had 15 bankers?
