Financial Sense Newshour: William Black: Why Nobody Went to Jail During the Credit Crisis

Evidently, the FBI is no longer chasing white collar criminals.   

According to Professor of Economics and Law William Black to Financial Sense Newshour, he explains to Jim Puplava, of Financial Sense NewsHour, why no one has gone to jail four years after the beginning of the historic Credit Crisis. 

Professor Black believes that the level of corruption and fraud is so pervasive that very few of the guilty will ever be brought to justice.
Bill Black is an Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri – Kansas City (UMKC). He was the Executive Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention from 2005-2007.
