Re:Why Aren’t Any Bankers in Prison for Causing the Financia... by marricks on Saturday December 16, 2017 @01:00PM (#15940718)
I meant more the idea that we have a financial system that allowed this to happen. Since the repeal of the Glass–Steagall act there's been greater and greater instability and more opportunities for banks to reap large sums of money. Eating away at these protections allows for more exploitation basically.

In terms of protections from prison, basically controlling the firms that are meant to police them seems sufficient. No real accountability from the financial crisis seems to show that...

None of the troubled firms were horizontally integrated in the way the gs would have prevented.

Since the repeal of the Glass–Steagall act

Don't forget Bill Clinton's Community Reinvestment Act too. This lies squarely in his lap.
