When people engage knowingly in illegal and unethical behavior
intended to enrich them while knowingly causing others financial loss,
that in my view is theft.

I am not impressed by legal trickery that allows someone to evade
responsibility for what any three-year old would know is wrong.
George Bush when challenged on his and Cheney's use of torture
famously said, "We followed the law."  Translation:  "My bought and
paid for lawyer said it was okay."

Not.

Bush/Cheney are torturers.  Wall Street et al are thieves.
