Do these people have any fucking common sense what so ever? Remember in Goodfellas when Robert Deniro, after the Luftansa heist tells everyone to lay low. The following night they have a little celebration at a bar... one guy comes in with his wife who's wearing a $30,000 mink coat and another guy rolls up in a brand new Cadillac? Well thats these fuckin buffoons. They can't just leave good enough alone. As if Wall Street hasn't been vilified enough (in no small part thanks to Goldman Sachs' "shitty deals" and the fact that the Treasury/Fed/SEC idly stood by until it was GS itself that was on the ropes) they need to keep pushing their fuckin luck.
Wall Street has, for the most part, gotten VERY VERY lucky with regard to new regulations. They could have gotten it much much worse and they didn't. In the end the bark was worse than the bite; which is a good thing since most of it was fueled by misguided and ignorant populace rage. But these fuckers just won't stop buying mink fucking coats and pink Cadillacs. And every 6 months they send a handful of analysts and associates to habitat for humanity and think they are doing a good job at managing their PR. In the end, we'll end up getting out bonuses taxed 80% and all other sorts of ridiculous regulations because of these idiots.
