‘The Savings Scandal’
The biggest bank heist in the history of the country is now coming to light.
The robber is the savings and loan industry and the victim is the U.S. Treasury and ultimately the taxpayers.
These bold bandits would make John Dillinger or Pretty Boy Floyd look like pikers, one main difference being that Floyd and Dillinger used guns while the so-called “respected” savings industry used briefcases through criminal acts and stupidity to loot our Treasury of an estimated $100 billion while the regulatory agencies apparently looked the other way until it came to light that this could be the scandal of the century.
Let’s hope that the justice system does its job.
