BBC - Key finance firms 'probed by FBI'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7632790.stm

"The FBI has begun an investigation into four major US financial institutions caught up in the current financial crisis"

Looks like the banks aren't being handed a simple 'get out of jail free' card, there may well be some prosecutions before the whole mess is over.

    Funny how they've only picked the ones that have already gone down the pan. There must be others, wouldn't help the market much though.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Not to worry the Serious Fraud Office will be on the case....:rotfl:

    It'll take 5 years to come to Court, cost the taxpayer millions and then it'll all collapse and they'll all walk off scot free !!!!!!!!!! :eek:
