SAC Confirms It's Not Guilty Of Being Guilty Of The Things For Which It Admitted Guilt

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Via an emailed statement, the soon to be jailed SAC logo (since nobody else is actually going to jail) proudly proclaims:

"We take responsibility for the handful of men who pleaded guilty and whose conduct gave rise to SAC’s liability.

 

The tiny fraction of wrongdoers does not represent the 3,000 honest men and women who have worked at the firm during the past 21 years."

aka the textbook definition of "just us" justice.

We did it, but we didn't do it.......just so you'ze knows.

Please send us your IRA's, pensions and all other accounts to exploit.

And for gods sake, never look at your statements.

 

Thank you,

Mgt.

Dunno. Prolly not big enough, judging from the result.

DHS is about 200,000 so let that be your gauge.

So... nobody is going to spend a day in jail, is that correct? And the "penalty" is merely the customary share of the winnings?

Yep.  That "penalty" is nothing more than a tax-deductible operating expense that is just a cost of doing business.

Steven was shocked, shocked to learn that illegal activity of this nature had been taking place in the firm he built and he will be wearing his black, zipper sweater of mourning for the remainder of this fiscal year.

Going forward SAC will only acquire inside information from perfectly legal, government connected sources such as the Marwood Group which benefits from umbrella protections in this area for members of congress and their staff.

Sure, the settlement says we're guilty of something, but not we in the traditional sense of the word.  Let us define 'we'.. It's not us, since us is all inclusive where we is defined by us as only a tiny fraction of us, therefore us is still mostly trustworthy..

I guess.  wtf.. lock these assholes up.

No Company pays almost 2 billion dollars for doing nothing wrong.  The executives belong in jail without any possibility of getting out.  They are economic terrorists. 

Might as well put the SEC in there since they are only mining firms and not interested in putting criminals in jail.

If the authorities don't do their job, the mob soon will

These SAC-O-shit assholes all deserve to be in jail, along with the government prosecutors who reached a deal that will assuredly not defend taxpayers from these criminals in the future.

1984, black is white, right is wrong, and slavery is freedom.

We live in bizzaro world where no one can send the perps to jail.

Officer, we didn't commit any crimes, the company did. It is all that logo's fault. Tear it off the wall and drag it out in chains.

The people will have justice and see the company that committed those heinous crimes pay for them for eternity.

 

Actually since corporations have the same legal standing as people now, I'm waiting for them to use that defense.

Much of the problem can be traced to the warped thinking that a company is an individual.

Law rarely is about morals, it's about winning and doing whats best for the outcome.  To plead guilty , could be ' the cheaper ' option for the corporation.

Good thing though, we charge it as an expense !
