    Dear Treasury:

    You want to hold banks accountable for helping countries such as Iraq?

    Why not start with holding banks accountable for the damage done during the 2008 financial meltdown in this country first.

      It’s Iran, not Iraq. And they can’t hold those responsible accountabile because it would be themselves (Community Reinvestment Act, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.) We have seen the enemy and it is us.

        It is funny, but I don’t remember any of these bankers from Goldman Sachs, Citi, Morgan Stanley and the AIG thugs going to jail for any of their misdeeds. They should have been occupying a cell next to Bernie or put in a cell with Tyrone and they would be learning how to be a “kid”.

    It’s about time individual bankers be held responsible for their acts. In our little insurance world, certainly individual brokers were held responsible for having Plan B quotes. Accountability starts in your cubicle, not just the corner office.

      Were you talking about the Marsh bid rigging scandal with several large carriers including the now infamous AIG? I am not sure what the penalties were after this scandal came out, but perhaps a few people lost their job and I don’t recall the sanctions imposed on Marsh or the carriers involved.
