How many in Wall St. would have been hung if the Iranians had their way ?
Madoff & co ? The taxpayers might have wished for the much cheaper option. It costs the taxpayers about $100,000 per year to keep Madoff in a luxury jail.
Plenty more at the bottom might have paid more attention to legality if a good flogging was the result. Some sort of hypocritical Christian values still rules. Roll on crime - it pays.
