Description

At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was one of the worst financial crises of the 20th century. Yet the vast majority of its perpetrators will never be prosecuted, and those who were received minimal sentences. This book comes to disturbing conclusions about the deliberate nature of this financial fraud, the political collusion involved, and the leniency of the criminal justice system in dealing with these "Gucci-clad white-collar criminals".
