Yes remember reading this. It was an excellent summation. We knew there was corruption but not until the benefits of hindsight and history, and the focus of the last 18 months, have we fully realized the enormous depth and reach of it. It doesn't just involve a few hundred (or even a few thousand) individuals. It involves lawlessness and corruption by people numbering in the HUNDREDS of thousands. (And that's just the U.S. component). Internationally there must be MILLIONS of individuals who have used their privileged positions to enrich themselves and themselves only. It is long past time that they were all stripped of their ill-gotten gains, prosecuted and incarcerated. Their actions have been truly staggering. Organized crime felons and traitors all.
