It's laughable that we spend these resources on something like this, dishing out very real jail time, while those running financial institutions that commit the same fraud on a scale capable of bringing down the global economy pay paltry fines.
No kidding. Steal billions, get bailed out. Steal $100, go to prison.

why is no one talking about the staggered sentences?

As is somewhat common in cases like this, the court said the couple will serve consecutive sentences so one parent can take care of the Giudice’s four young daughters. In a statement to the court before her sentencing, Teresa said that she would repay the funds the couple fraudulently obtained from the banks and other institutions if she could receive home arrest and community service.
Should we ruin the lives of their children, taking them into state custody, so that we can deliver justice?
Staggered sentencing is most appropriate.

Why are they getting any jail time when we have others knowingly doing worse fraudulent activities simply paying fines and restitution?
idk but just because they get off doesn't mean everyone should

All the families on those shows have shady arse shite. I bet they could all go down for what those two tards got charged with.

It's not that they got off, they weren't charged at all.
You're basically admitting that you're okay with completely subjective application of criminal law. What could go wrong?

Good point.

no but i believe it is more complex with corporations than individuals. Where do you stop when prosecuting individuals working in a company?

Companies don't commit fraud, people working for them do. It's not complex, that is a pure cop-out.

Don't you?

its usually much more complex than some guido filing for loans with false information

No, it's not. People often talk about complexity, quickly dismissing the fact that major global institutions with leverage and political power agree to give billions of dollars to the government in the face of these investigations. DOJ prosecutes criminal fraud conducted under the veil of a corporation all the time, with great success.
There are countless examples of rampant fraud in the financial services industry; DOJ has caught several employees of firms red-handed, with stellar cases that are capable of extracting enormous fines but not stellar enough to illustrate criminal fraud in a court of law.
Not buying it.
The committee assigned to investigate the subprime fallout was given a budget equal to one-seventh of the budget for the movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. I wonder what we spent on these two assholes.

I know. I was responding to the post asking why nobody was discussing it.

they served prison time...you act like the government never prosecutes big business. I just stated they do.
I have no problem with them going after these two. I understand what you are saying but it still shouldn't mean they shouldn't have prosecuted them.
