This is from 2016, but it shows how long the efforts to reel in white collar criminals take. As you have to slowly identify crimes 1 by 1 & get regulator authority, lawful predicates, & whistle blowers to let you inside the corruption.

This chart shows a long trail of actions against auditor Deloitte from 2005-2016 as corruption was exposed. Each of these cases comes with cooperation agreements, that lets the investigators gather more evidence. #ButNothingsHappening
It also ties into insider trading & even a loan of casino chips from a casino that was being audited!
Deloitte like the rest of the Big 4 accounting firms have faced a lot of scrutiny for how they missed all the #moneylaundering by using standard accounting practices to not question those off-shore shell company transactions...

Convictions in case of bribing Haitian officials for port construction projects. Retired US Army Colonel with a partner running a non-profit entity that was supposedly helping poor Haitians but instead was funneling the bribes. #ButNothingsHappening

NGO's paying bribes for infrastructure projects in Haiti, well what an interesting thing for the FBI to be investigating! Wonder what other NGO's were paying bribes in Haiti through their non-profit foundations!
HT to @favorableview for letting me know that @CoreysDigs has already done a deep dive on this Colonel & his connections to the Swamp...

Canadian #MoneyLaundering network operating since 1994 is taken down by the DOJ. Picked up checks/cash in the UK & Netherlands, opened envelopes & processed the money in Ireland. Mail scams targeting US citizens. #ButNothingsHappening

justice.gov/opa/pr/four-ex…
4 Executive are charged, we will see how widely the issue spreads after this. They were only the processors, which gives DOJ/FBI the #receipts to go after their clients.
Scam must have been huge, 2 of the defendants each earned $15M over just 2 years of the scam.
Operation ran from 1994 until September 2016.

@TLBsStory @lizlhoward @eddieperezTX @philipbstark @umbernhard @mcranechilders 1. Debunk the myth of “decentralization” (ES&S & Dominion = 80 % US election equipment).
2. ES&S donated $30K to help elect Republicans.
3. Dominion just hired Pelosi’s former longtime aid as a lobbyist.
4. Equipment overview

1/
@TLBsStory @lizlhoward @eddieperezTX @philipbstark @umbernhard @mcranechilders 5. Vote tallies CAN be hacked via the internet due to centralized election mgmt systems & online reporting system.
6. ES&S installed remote access software in election mgmt systems in 300 jurisdictions it won’t identify. Diebold, which ES&S acquired in 2009, did this too.

2/
@TLBsStory @lizlhoward @eddieperezTX @philipbstark @umbernhard @mcranechilders 7. Dominion won’t say whether it installed remote access, which suggests it probably did.
8. ES&S installed cellular modems in ballot scanners in WI, FL, & IL starting in 2015, an invitation to man-in-the-middle hacks (per IT expert Appel).

Thread, but I want to address a point raised in the next tweet: that white collar crimes are rarely prosecuted.

This very fact is used as a defense when they are.
When a whole class of crime is basically never punished, it is so easy to cry "witch hunt" or accuse prosecutors of having an agenda or invoke sympathy when any attempt is made to do so. Which obviously exacerbates the situation.
And a whole swath of society, not just attorneys representing white collar criminals, will repeat it. The same editorialists who will talk about law and order and the law is the law and "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." when it comes to drugs or immigration...

I’m so glad to see people furious that Paul Manafort, a criminal who enriched himself from human rights abuses, used his privilege to obtain a light sentence, while poorer people and people of color get railroaded daily for much lesser crimes.
The solution to this problem is not to try to somehow get longer sentences for rich white men. It’s to push for a less punitive system overall. Excessive sentences do nothing to deter crime or rehabilitate criminals, but they do destroy families and communities.
If you’re mad and want to do something, here are some groups you can support:

The Brennan Center for Justice brennancenter.org

The Sentencing Project

(THREAD) As the Trump-Russia investigation moves into its next stage, America must change the way we think about and talk about the investigation. This *isn't* just a news story anymore, and that means media and non-media alike need a paradigm shift. I hope you'll read and share.
1/ I teach journalism at University of New Hampshire, and one of the things we discuss is how—while many newsworthy stories are bounded in time, audience, relevance, and the expertise needed to cover them—others are far more expansive and require a different kind of journalism.
2/ Earlier this week, I gave a lecture at The Pratt Institute titled "The Trump-Russia Affair As Generational Event." It framed the Affair as a historical episode rather than a bounded news story—more analagous to the Great Depression than a single federal criminal investigation.

1) A lot of people don't understand how a third of the country can have gone from "normal" Republicans to part of a Trump cult of personality. It's actually pretty simple...
2) A big part of it is that Trump is an overt racist and sexist who talks at a fourth grade level, so that makes a lot of older conservative dudes jump with joy that "someone like them" is in charge. But it's much deeper than that.
3) The Republican base has been stoked with an endless stream of delusional paranoid fantasies for the last 30 years by a barrage of right-wing media, from chain emails to Fox News to talk radio to Drudge, Breitbart, and the rest.
