A Bad Idea for Israel

Leaving the scene of a crime

Regarding the article “Goldman agrees to pay $550 million in S.E.C. suit” (July 17): If you get caught defrauding somebody out of, say, $50,000, you’re going to jail. You can’t pay the money back and walk on your merry way. But on Wall Street, if you commit a massive crime, you get to walk away from it.
