“During the 16 years I was a criminal defence
lawyer, I represented mostly high-level executives. I guarantee you the only
thing they feared was the prospect of spending a day in jail. That was totally
abominable, whereas being fined, they couldn’t care less.”— Jed
Rakoff, a federal district judge for the Southern District of New York, demanding
greater accountability in cases of alleged Wall Street fraud, quoted in Kara
Scannell, “Lunch with the FT: Jed Rakoff,”
