| Today s NYT features an above-the-fold opus by Morgenson and Story that tries to answer the question, "That financial crisis a few years ago, why did nobody go to jail for that? It s the same question Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone s resident insult artist, recently took up himself.The Times Morgenson and Story cover some of the same ground as Rolling Stone, but without the name-calling and axe-grinding (one of Taibbi s sources recommended deterring white-collar crime by putting Lloyd Blankfein in "pound-me-in-the-ass prison ) and with more details about how regulators were pressured to ease up their investigations.The result is a smoother, less splenetic story and probably the best explanation to date of how some of the worst villains of the financial crisis came out more or less unscathed. You probably have some opinion: the Times article has 435 comments and counting. |
