I would agree that the self-deceiving fiduciary should be held financially responsible for the impact of their blindness, but I’m not sure all these cases are actually crimes.

I'm sure you know this but a broker-dealer (which is what we're primarily talking about in the context of Wall St banks) doesn't have a fiduciary duty to their counterparty.

I was still addressing Enron case where many of the people charged were fiduciaries, but you're right re: the investment banks.
