We the People ask that the Executive Branch pursue criminal complaints against banks and bankers whose fraudulent activities caused the economic collapse in 2008. And we ask that the too-big-to-fail banks be broken up.
Banking institutions deemed "too big to fail" defrauded the American people of hundreds of billions of dollars in the lead-up to the greatest financial disaster the world has seen since the Great Depression. Yet, according to New York Times reports, the banks and the bankers are being let go with a slap on the wrist. Instead of going to jail, bank representatives give empty promises not to break the law in the future -- promises they have often made and broken in the past.
We the People demand justice. Prosecute bank fraud and abuse. Break up the TBTF banks.
