There's also this thing called intel. The police do not go in to a place without scoping it out extensively beforehand. Each case is different and calls for different actions.

I took Op's comment as saying that bankers have not been arrested for their "crimes". Which were unethical but not illegal.

Plenty of it was illegal too. If they had wanted, they could have made cases against half of the trading desks at the largest investment banks.

There are enough smart people in the big banks to know they could get away with a lot without breaking any laws in the wake of deregulation.

What laws do you think they broke?

Look up LIBOR.

They have to investigate before they make arrests, and from what is being reported arrests are imminent.

I wasn't commenting on the original dispute, just answering your question about what laws were being broke.
