Jamie And Lloyd Visit Obama

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Five years ago today, the CEOs of the big banks visited one US president with one goal in mind: get billions in taxpayer dollars to get bailed out. Today, the same bank CEOs are once again at the White House, this time invited by a different president, "as part of the Obama Administration's ongoing efforts to mend relations with the financial services sector and woo their support for White House policy." One can assume that in addition to the trite generalities surrounding the shut government and the debt ceiling, one topic of conversation is how Wall Street can accentuate the severity of the ongoing governance crisis and most certainly includes such demands by Obama as "stop sending stocks higher when the only catalyst is my inability to create any sort of compromise."

So here they are:

Jamie

And Lloyd

And all of a sudden, all ZeroHedge followers have turned in to old-style Stallinists, Maoists that blames eveyrthing on the Banks and the "capitalists". What a bunch of losers. Good luck America.

There once were such a thing as honest bankers.   Banksters have given bankers a bad name, but then again, banksters have taken over banking.

@Youngandhealthy
It's the opposite, dear moron, unlike you we understand that those bankers are the opposite of capitalism, and this is what we cannot stand anymore.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV is being visited by Spacing Guildsmen.

Their message?

"The Spice must flow,... or you will live out your life in a pain amplifier!"

Well, I just left government service. My job was to stop the Chinese from taking all their shit. I quit though, because those two are as shitty as the Chinese communists.

Good luck with all the money boys. Because some of the people protecting the system are quitting for good.

Why aren't Blankfein and Dimon in the dock yet, facing jail time for fraud and other financial crimes?

Instead, some kid nicknamed Pirate is arrested for moneylaundering, using a little known thing called bitcoin which affects a mere fraction of the biggest heist in history carried out by the likes of Goldman Sacks, JP Morgue and their network of well known accomplices in the U.S., and abroad. LIBOR, just to name one of their international conspiraces to defraud.

And let's remember HSBC - fined for money laundering dealing with 'terrorists', drug runners and assorted other gangsters. Yet no one at HSBC was charged, let alone jailed.

Reminds me of the warning from a former U.S. bank regulator who said the biggest crooks were in the board rooms, orchestrating the crimes.

Why? Because the head of the justice depart is tied to them.
