And as a result of all of this, all of the individuals who became wealthy through what the Department of Justice describes as an egregious fraud that was followed by a coverup\u2013in other words, multiple felonies\u2013have not been charged at this point, and, frankly, there\u2019s no indication that they\u2019re about to be charged as well. So the people that committed the frauds get to keep all of the bonuses that were created as a result of those frauds, and it\u2019s another disgraceful moment in the chapter of the Department of Justice\u2026.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<pre>\r\n<\/pre>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/VjIWKLMgffw?rel=0\" style=\"border:thick ridge #009900\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<pre>\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>All you fans of Hillary Clinton, please remember that Robert Rubin is an example of the type of people who will help fund her campaign for President.

If people like Robert Rubin are going to run around and sully the reputation of Jews, then at least I can claim that Bill Black is the type of person who is trying to make up for what Rubin has done.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the ethnic background of the names Rubin and Black are less obvious than is the name Greenberg.  Perhaps that is the reason why I am particularly angry at the perpetrators of the banking fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Economic Perspectives has the article Egregious Fraudster: Introducing Bob Rubin\u2019s Citicorp by L.
