Holder Going After the Small Fry

The New York Times reports that Attorney General Eric Holder is ignoring fraud at the big Wall Street firms and going after penny-ante stuff. I'm glad someone is noticing this and writing about it. As the article states, "If the government spent half the time trying to ferret out fraud at major companies that it does tracking pump-and-dump schemes, we might have been able to stop the financial crisis, or at least we’d have a fighting chance at stopping the next one." His efforts are described as a "public relations push." This is the New York Times reporting, not some anti-Obama blog.
