A couple of things about these settlements. The settlement amount is a large number but these "landmark" settlements don't seem to come anywhere close to the spoils gained by criminal activity. Combine that with the deferred prosecution agreements that come with a lot of these settlements and we're in a spot where shareholders foot the loss on the penalty and those that absolutely did commit and benefit from committing ridiculous crimes can't end up in jail.I don't really care about settlement amounts in dollars. I'd like to see criminals end up in jail.
