Download The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives AudioBook Free
From Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jesse Eisinger, a blistering profile of corporate greed and impunity and the reckless, often anemic response from the Section of Justice. Why were no bankers devote prison after the financial crisis of 2008? Why do CEOs appear to commit wrongdoing with impunity? The situation goes beyond lenders deemed "too big to are unsuccessful" to almost every large corporation in America - to pharmaceutical companies and automobile manufacturers and beyond. The Chickenshit Club - an inside mention of prosecutors too frightened of failure and too daunted by legal impediments to do their jobs - talks about why. A character-driven narrative, the reserve tells the storyline in the Section of Justice. The sophisticated and richly reported storyline spans the previous decade and a half of prosecutorial fiascos, corporate lobbying, trial losses, and culture shifts which may have stripped the federal government of the will and ability to prosecute top corporate executives. The book commences in the 1970s, when the federal government pioneered the idea that top corporate executives, not just seedy crooks, could commit heinous offences and go to jail. The book journeys to trading desks on Wall Road, to corporate boardrooms and the office buildings of prosecutors and FBI providers. These revealing looks provide framework for the progression of the Justice Department's approach to pursuing corporate crooks through the early 2000s and in to the Justice Section of today. Exposing one of the most important scandals of your time, The Chickenshit Club offers a clear, detailed explanation as to how our Justice Section has come to avoid, bungle, and mismanage the struggle to bring these alleged crooks to justice.
