>Well, like I said, any of them, if they're able to at least uphold the moral standards related to their field of operations.
>>IOW, can't trust banks as they didn't fire any of their own cheaters but rather provided gold for their parachutes, or promoted them.
Not all of them.
I bank with Wells Fargo. Their bonus happy CEO went overboard, was caught and got fired.
Wells Fargo started as a stage coach line back in the cowboy days. It's a fine bank that let some whacko's let it get off course but righted the ship. The new CEO goes out of his way to let people know that the bank knows that it made some serious mistakes and wants to get things right.
The people at my branch are Hamilton residents - not making a whole lot of money- who do their best to support local business with loans and good services.
In my professional work I do a lot of work with systems people at banks. Generally not the brightest bulbs on the street, but hardworking and honest.
Ironically, some of the most deceitful people I meet in business work for software companies.
It's fun to deflate institutions. I do it all the time.
But without some basic institutions we'd have anarchy and if you look at the behavior trends in the US since the 1960's anarchy is a logical end point.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
