I am so not impressed. This is just another case of the government looking busy by catching and prosecuting Goldfish, while the Sharks continue the feeding frenzy. The FBI should have its own show on The Comedy Channel.

Exactly, small players get punished but they will never ever go after something like GS or JPM.

I am disappointed you find this satisfying: it's exactly why it's being done: to satisfy people and change nothing... just like toothless Bair and irrelevant Warren.

What are we supposed to call persecution of 1% of the fraud committed over the past 4 years? A good start? Bridge to the next bubble?

In the Milken/Boskey insider trading-ring the 23 convicted stole a lot more than these guys did, and no one served over about three years. Milken's fine was $400 million and Boskey's fine was $100 million. Both are still filthy rich.
