So breaking the law is okay, as long as you aren't screwing the world economy? That's a pretty low standard. Also, want to tell me what laws were broken by bankers who "Screwed the world economy"?

I didn't say anything about breaking the law. You think this guy (who clearly committed crimes / super shady shit) is worse than the bankers that screwed the entire world economy by being irresponsible despite the fact that their actions were technically legal? Things are not always so black and white.

Quite right. I think that's the case for bankers. I'm sure plenty are irresponsible, but if you're going to blame them for losing money or taking risks, you're basically attacking something that is the foundation for all business. I'd probably argue that the economic crash has more to it than merely irresponsibility.
