Difference in thievery
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 10:29 AM by Lurking_Argyle

Armed robber

This guy will steal in the range of $200-$1500. He'll likely injure between 1-5 people. His thievery affected people in the immediate local area. When caught, he'll get prison time in the range of 10-25 years.




Ken Lay, former CEO of Enron

This guy stole money in the hundreds of millions of dollars and it's no secret. His thievery affected the Houston economy and pension funds all over the USA. It took years to bring the suspect and associates to trial. He didn't live to see a verdict, but his successor did get 24 years. His victim count is in the tens of thousands. They lost their jobs, savings, and pensions and got nothing.




Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs

This guy (and corporate counterparts) will steal money in the billions of dollars and it's no secret. His thievery affects the whole US economic system. He likely won't go to trial, much less see prison. His victim count is in the millions. The US government (i.e. the taxpayers) will likely have to repair the damage. It'll take years to assess the damage.


The guy with the gun will get the most outrage.
What's wrong with this picture? :(
