    Yeah if they're looking down the barrel of "infinite losses", then who cares? A class action suit and a congressional scolding is literally a get out of jail free card at this point. The suit will take YEARS to settle and pay out $5 checks, meanwhile maybe they'll get a fine from the SEC and some shitty publicity.

    Everyone's been wishing for some kind of divine wrath to completely nuke firms like these; to actually punish them for their disgusting behavior. Instead they'll get off with the regular punishment that everyone knows is a total farce. We were all chanting "it's 2008 all over again" and we were right. They're going to get out of this just as unscathed as last time.
