Moyers & Company. Big Banks' Lack of Accountability

Description

In this edition of Moyers & Company, Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi joins Bill to discuss the continuing lack of accountability for "too big to fail" banks that continue to break laws and act unethically because they know they can get away with it. Taibbi refers specifically to the government's recent settlement with HSBC, which merely had to pay a big fine for shocking offenses - including, Taibbi says, laundering money for both drug cartels and banks connected to terrorists. Taibbi also expresses his concern over recent Obama appointees who go from working on behalf of major banks in the private sector to policing them in the public sector.
