Shocking! White-collar crime prosecutions way down under Trump

Some people have to have made a lot of money from Trump’s business failures. I mean, the pre-bankruptcy assets have to have ended up somewhere. Therefore, Trump himself has clearly been a victim, in some ways, and you’d think he’d be good and pissed at plenty of his fellow white-collar criminals. But in the depths of his pathological narcissistic and delusional disorders he will never even begin to come to terms with any of that.

Prosecutions of white-collar criminals by the U.S. Justice Department plunged to an all-time low in January, according to a study published just days after President Donald Trump proclaimed his commitment to "safeguarding the American consumer" and "strengthening our efforts to prevent and prosecute fraud."

The analysis released Tuesday by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) found that the Justice Department prosecuted just 359 white-collar criminals in January, a decline of 25% from five years ago. TRAC has been recording data on white-collar prosecutions since 1986. - Common Dreams
