family trust any of our government agents okay that is what we're gonna be
uh... discussing and uh... this is because of a great story tonight a
beaded in rolling stone it's about the f_c_c_ and how the regulators their work
first of all those surprise in the czech restaurant public in
said over my wife has been uh... asking the s_e_c_ about some investigations
and now he found out through apart we
at the whistleblower that matt also writes about that turns out they
basically destroyed records of their investigations aunty
if that i love the first quarter grassley says quote
it doesn't make sense that an agency responsible for investigations
would want to get rid of potential evidence
which makes a lot of sense strategy if you can let you know this is
you probably wouldn't want to get rid of evidence
but what they're doing is is there a called matters under investigation is
annualized
and uh... low-level analysts who actually care about their jobs actually
looking to others insider trading
fraud and settlers are guests big banks
then it goes up to the higher levels in the higher levels go yeah i don't think
so we're not doing any of those investigations and
for the records
they don't actually brenda but they do shred them they literally destroy all
the records
now why would they do this well let's give you one example this guy by the
name of *** walker who's in charge of uh... revealed one of these
investigations against torture bank and there was some fairly considerable
evidence of that again we find this out through uh... whistleblowers like a good
guy by the name of darcy flynn who worked there for over a decade bank
and so they bring us up to his attention is on the recuse myself in the case
and we're not going to tell you why we stop the case but i don't think that all
the sudden
the case
is gone
it is not pursued and all the evidence is destroyed
you i guess or *** walker went to right afterwards
a couple months later shockingly enough he became a general counsel
weirdo which are back
and that's generally how it works and that's got a lot more details and the
rolling stone piece which will talk about the second year but let me open it
up to you guys
so
isn't any hope here at least is is you regal rolling so sorry
is that constantly revolving door the heads of the organizations the top guys
are constantly go to work for goldman sachs torture bank uh... this but while
most swindler a texas billionaire
uh... let me give you his name uh... or elese stanford who finally got
interested seven billion dollar ponzi scheme
here in new york overnight is so great the guy who was was investigating those
arrested him for the record stats was so crazy right
and then says quote
every lawyer and after you enter your firms as every lawyer in texas
and beyond is gonna get rich on this case okay i hated being on the sidelines
of eight years ago
video is that the system is insanely crap i mean people talk about are the
people corrupt the system is designed to be corrupt
maps story is the sisters' story to another uh... thing that doesn't get
enough evidence which is
under bush and now accelerated under all bomber the justice department policy for
investigating banks in this country
is not to investigate
what to say chase chase bank investigate yourself and let me know if you do
anything illegal literally and if by some embarrassing chain of events i'd
find out is the government that you chase bank in something we'll assign
case look into investigators from the back and india so what we have here is a
system
and this revolving door that you talk about that walker
not only do they destroyed the records in these cases but if they could that
have the men in black come in and do the flash in the eye
so the individuals of our forget everything they weren't
since they can't do that they hire them for big money
well there's a minute is is it actually cases exactly what you're talking about
again in the release on peace as a woman by the name of jacqueline milan who
worked at a rate sheet
and around september fifteen two thousand eight now remember that's mid
meltdown she says oh my god this is serious insider trading going on at our
office today i g she wore strategy edging is all things so much for letting
us know you're fired
okay obviously immediately right
so then they go to that cc they like insider trading at the company that we
are
getting any
enormously a lot of the largest of the all the bills over a hundred eighty
billion dollars
hey they might be following the money to themselves you might wanna look into
that
and a good here that's a great point
don't worry we're going to appointed a commission
led by a chief of police everybody hired by a single outside where people
edgy will tell us that they were corrupt
so that cc sabathia cc sent
you have a prominent
are non whatsoever i think all these institutions are best left alone to
investigate themselves effect uh... now i think that uh... you know what as i
got you know we all remember like the savings and loan the bottle
uh... if we go into the way back issue
not too far back and then we remember the iran scandal
with i don't know who the poster
will demand are of bringing the entire financial
world to its knees in this
this collapse we just had
where are those boots william edward lee prosecutions of those guys allow me to
tell a story for me
yap bob macey katarina the research titled frankie for many years as you
know you probably propaganda
not in the great money-making scandal-ridden areas uh... fortunately
for myself unfortunate for my bank account
there is a guy named joe concern
joe cassano ram the financial products unit
avenging two hundred people of the company of a hundred and twenty thousand
responsible for the whole collapse of everything basically his and that's what
it is like patient x he liked the idea like exactly his patient he is the
caring
and he's the background and so he does makes these multibillion dollar
totally leverage deals bringing they can eventually bring the economy dot nutty
idea what people don't know this didn't one of these deals with the s_e_c_ early
two thousand i forget i think was two thousand three with the f_c_c_'s that ok
we'll let you off the hook blatant fraud
but you have to pay pay a fine you have to be keeping independent auditor in
joke aside i was unit and of chorus is illegal to lie to investors about what
you're doing because that's not brought you can go to jail for that what happens
during levin's investigation in some of the other senate investigation
no i can't call joe costano guilty of a crime because that would be slander but
you remember this union the producers where they'd reform committee says we
find the defendant incredibly guilty you'll remember that the defendant bear
in mind i thought you know i don't have time to time and i agree i cannot profit
to the crime because he was never prosecute
so what happened was that
you go through the records joe cassano says the independent or auditor that was
part of a legal settlement i'm not letting you look at the box
independent auditor
quit in frustration
joe cassano goes on a car investor call with people putting all their money in
their i_d_ answers
the books are great
nobody has a problem with the book he says are arm deals armani good meaning
as good as cashier ordeals of money good he's already been tall there are serious
problems senior executives of or even told her fingerprints there on the call
they all say nothing
joe costano brings down the world economy after a year's worth or waiting
for the justice department
to act somebody up finally the story weeks out like a little over a year
later
the oklahoma justice department told joca samples were there will be no trial
now let me finish that story so he gets no prosecution what did he get
he got between three hundred to six hundred
million dollars in composition for managing
now we put in a hunt over a hundred eighty billion dollars of taxpayer money
to rescue a richie
did we get the money back from cassano cause a hundred an eighty billion dollar
lost no we didn't ok he gets to keep any those hundreds of millions of dollars
as an extra kicker the government said that they needed his expertise in the
beginning and they were paying and million dollars a month to him for is
expertise
before that story broke and everybody was ares and fire they like ok if they
get enough money will let him retire so where are the investigators and the
justice department were taken into these guys where are they
failed but that's a great question and i constantly keep asking
wes holder you know our attorney general well i mean he he was supposed to be a
lie in four other people write any
uh... he was supposed to be progressive any was going to get in there is a roll
up his sleeves in what happened
nothing nothing the one guy prosecutor from goldman sachs
what was the way he did that actions and that was that
his twenty eight years old
they found a guy that is an incredibly ahluwalia and frankly i know it's a
factory sealed guys already an abraham and a twenty eight-year-old missing we
got up i've given the frogs
