Main stream media yesterday was virial with the news that the Federal government has announced a 39-count indictment of Real Housewives Star Teresa Giudice and her husband Giuseppe ("Joe") Giudice for FDIC Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Conspiracy to commit same and Bankruptcy Fraud. (See Forbes story - HERE - (New Jersey U.S. Attorney Press Release - HERE) - actual indictment - HERE)
What is noteworthy (and I take great issue with) is the following remark by the Department of Justice Press Release - disingenuously stating that;
“Today’s indictment alleges the Giudices did not live up to their responsibilities by failing to file tax returns, falsifying loan applications and concealing assets in their bankruptcy petition. The reality is that this type of criminal conduct will not go undetected and individuals who engage in this type of financial fraud should know they will be held accountable.”
emphasis added to "individuals".
Meanwhile Goldman Sachs 100+ Felony Counts Get Away - 'SCOT FREE'!
- - What the DOJ Press Release should be saying is;
Look, you 2 TV stars aren't either Goldman Sachs, nor Bain Capital. Now if your last name were Bush or Romney, then - in all probability - you would be considered Above the Law and perhaps you could get away with all of these assaults upon the Constitution of the United States.
Plus Mr. & Mrs. Giudice - you only stole a few million - Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital do their fleecing in the Billions (thus allowing enough side money to pay for "paying off" those who might have "some" desire to adhere to their oaths of office)
You must perpetuate fraud on a Madoff-esque type scale;
if you too desire to have any hope to get off 'Scot Free'.
I'm just sayin..........
