Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access
Clearinghouse indicates that in 1995, bank regulators referred 1,837 cases to the Justice
Department.(Morgenson & Story,2011). In 2006, that
number had fallen to 75. In the four subsequent
years, a period encompassing the worst of the crisis, an average of only 72 a year have been
referred for criminal prosecution. The fewer cases being referred are matched by a lack of enthusiasm for criminal prosecution among Justice
referred Department attorneys.......[Citing TRAC research].
