REMEMBER WHEN? Accountability in Financial Markets
In honor of Bernie Madoff and Jim Cramer, I thought I would reprise the following which was previously published in this blog on TPM:
In a photo taken during the pre-Reagan era when banking activities were closely monitored and regulated, we see Banking Industry mogul Jesse James auditing accounts receivable in his inbox under the watchful eyes of the regulators.

I think I just heard a "read my lips. I'm truly sorry" coming from the room, but it sounded like the words were actually coming from the fellow with the tophat. Can't be sure.

Ha, and in honor of AIG and the 'investment' bankers I think a little earlier regulation might be in order

I believe I heard at one point that the English once threw bankers into a bag full of snakes that were then tossed into the Thames.
Sounds apocryphal, but not likely. It'd be too cruel and unacceptable to treat snakes this way.
