Summary
"Why did no important banking executives face criminal prosecution for the 2008 financial crisis? This book seeks to answer this question by focusing on the incentives faced by the federal prosecutors who would have been tasked with bringing these cases, but instead settled for safer plea agreements"-- Provided by publisher.
