The notion that bankers who make large sums by constantly projecting and promising safety and risk mitigation shouldn't be losing their shirts when everything blows up just lays bare the truth. Everything is setup to protect the powerful and the wealthy, and out of everyone it's probably going to be 401ks, taxpayers, and small businesses to get hurt the most.

What was it that judge said? If they were to go to prison it might affect them negatively.

Lots of people far wealthier than those bankers who will lose money here.
