It seems to me that if most other companies or individuals had done what citigroup did, their executives would be doing a perp walk in handcuffs. $7 billion is a lot of cash for anyone to pay to get rid of a potential nuisance suit. It is evident that the Attorney General's office had the goods on Citigroup. I guess the State is running out of jail space for white collar millionairre executives and would rather shake down the stock holders rather than calling the real criminals to account.
