Say what you will about Liz Warren, she knows how to give the feckless bank regulators hell on camera. It’s kinda funny that a Senate hearing is blowing up on YouTube, but here we are. It's hilarious how not one bank regulator can cite a single case of a Wall Street bank being brought to trial. It’s no secret that I have a lot of respect and admiration for Warren, which I realize is not a popular opinion on Wall Street. But you have to give credit where credit is due, and she’s definitely a bigger asset on the Senate Banking Committee than we’ve seen in a long time. Give 'em hell, Doc:

And here's the uncut testimony that's going viral:

Even if people dont' like this stuff, the end is actually fairly relevant. Prosecuters go out of their way to take small people to trial to "set an example", yet refuse to touch the banks.

Well, all the co-mingled issues aside it is certainly refreshing to actually see someone start going after the regulators asking, " what the fuck were you clowns doing?" I don't agree with most of what she says and traditionally she makes my head want to push itself through a window. That said, these settlements are a fucking joke and someone needs to actually ask the question of what is the point of regulation if you have no authority or will to actually enforce it. To a few of the posters above, I suggest you actually watch this "liberal junk" because guess what? It's about to consume us for the next 4, and realistically the next 8 to 12 years. There are very few people who could end up having more of a direct impact on your jobs and future going forward outside of this woman. She is powerful, popular, smart and most importantly shrewd as hell. I respect her even If I don't agree with her.

Obviously, she knows the answer going into this and is simply showboating the incompetence of the current regulators which then gives rise to the ability to set up new agencies which will go in and do what the current ones cannot; or just give the current ones sweeping authority and even stricter regulations. Frankly she scares the shit out of me. haha.

She is a liberal and a liar, which is synonymous. And why hasn't a bank been brought to trial? Plenty of individuals in finance have been arrested and tried. Just because a bank fails or had poor controls doesn't mean the CEO has committed a crime.

But sure, if the sheep want it, why not imprison everyone who works at Citi. I mean that would be throwing a bank in jail and I am sure the morons would cheer for it.

Government creates a problem, then creates more government to solve the problem it created. The SEC is and was incompetent and now we have an elected official who is trying to increase government to solve the problem.

Yes, and I get the impression that she a lot of skeletons in her closet. Perhaps not as funny as Bill O'Reilly's vibrating dildo (true story) or J Hoover's cross dressing....but no one's taken a close look into her past. I'm all for slipping through the cracks and moving past youthful indiscretions, but I'd like some integrity in investigators or we just end up with another Elliot Spitzer who screws us all over and then goes down in a fiery ball of flames themselves.

Fuck are you talking about? Angelo Mozillo isn't guilty? Jon Corzine isn't guilty? Dick Fuld had no idea what the fuck was going to happen?...and I call bullshit on that because I and other guys KNEW that Bear and Lehman were in deep shit during recruiting season months before. A family member was specifically told NOT to accept the offer at Bear because their shit was getting jacked and the firm was getting fucked all ways like a hooker at a gang bang. Nothing was fucked? ....uhm, everything was fucked, and everyone knew about it. At the time, I was fucking bartender....IF I KNEW THAT, THEY DEFINTELY KNEW ABOUT IT.

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make this to you, unless you just don't want to see, and therefore just aren't worth acknowledging.

Just to illustrate how little accountability there was in industry, Jim Cramer was telling people to buy Lehman shares days before and still has his show. Had that been any other sector, any other field, these people would all be unemployed at the least, much more likely behind bars. He still has credibility? He still has a fucking job in this business??? HOW? It's an insult to guys like you and me who know what the fuck they're doing. He's a fake, a snake oil salesman, and it's fucking demoralizing when a crook gets ahead. If you just want to rationalized that away, good for you, but personally it pisses me the fuck off.

I call bullshit, they cruise on momentum and buy corruption, and unlike you I personally don't care what side of the political isle they come from.

Look at it this way:

Truthfully, in my darker days, I look at this stuff and conclude "shit, the rules are selectively enforced and your precious fucking America is bullshit so I'm just going to do whatever the fucking hell I can get away with, your Constitution and nosy rule books be damned. Fuck the rules, fuck 'capitalism', and fuck you. I'm just taking what I want." Not bad if it's just me, one person, but you seem to have no comprehension of how many people, more and more, see things this way. If a bad law is made, then argue it, but if basic fraud laws aren't going to be enforced then the system that you profit so much from starts to break down. Truth also is, I'd get away with anything I tried, but I have a concience. Getting away with something doesn't make it right, and these guys are still fucking crooks. If someone fucks up, they get canned. If they cross the line, they go to jail. It applies for you and me and I'll be damned the day I condone things just because someone has a lot of money and power. IT'S STILL WRONG.

You ever play in a hockey game where the ref is just calling one side? You want to just take it out into the parking lot after the game, it's maddening, and you cease to care what the consequences are because, shit, it doesn't matter anyway. THAT'S how a lot of America feels right now, especially the ones hurt by the recession who had NOTHING to do with the fucking bubble. 40% of American wealth was vaporized, and it's no one's fault? Dude, seriously, you need to get in touch with reality, I truly don't understand where you're coming from and you sound ridiculous.

Disagree if you must argue just to do it, I'm just the messenger.

I don't mind that she's hard on banks. Charlie Gasparino is hard on banks, and I think he's great.

I can't stand her because she is hard on banks while peddling populist rhetoric. Then there is her role in the CFPB...a new, remarkably unaccountable government agency that "solves" non-existent problems.

Were swipe fees really an issue? Really? How about overdraft fees and payday lending? Yes, those products are terrible values, but it was not exactly a secret...Then you have her role in Dodd-Frank, the grandfather of all "fixing problems that don't exist" acts. 4 years, thousands of pages, and it still fails to address the causes of the crisis.

And personally she's atrocious. The affirmative action fraud is the least of my objections. Whenever she opens her mouth, you could swear she's the bastard offspring of Pelosi and Matt Taibbi. Bullshit enveloped in the authority of academia.

Thoughtful.

TNA:

Who exactly has been arrested and/or tried stemming from the financial crisis? Most high profile cases I can think of involve rogue traders (who harmed the banks).

TNA:

Just because a bank fails or had poor controls doesn't mean the CEO has committed a crime.

Negligence is a crime. If you are supervising employees who are laundering money for terrorist organizations (HSBC) you are breaking the law.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
