   "Sunday's New York Post page one headline about JPMorgan's fine
   screamed "Uncle Scam" with the sub headline "U.S. Robs Bank of $13B."
   Wall Street went into a tizzy this weekend with the news that one of
   the nation's biggest banks agreed to fork over to the federal
   government $13 billion in fines related to its mortgage securities
   business.
   The Post quoted bank analyst Dick Bove of Rafferty Capital as saying
   the deal "is a basic and fundamental attack on capitalism."
   "It is possible that the government is taking away the property of the
   JPMorgan shareholders without the shareholders having committed any
   crime or having any say in the expropriation of these funds," [2]Bove
   told the New York Post.
   The deal, [3]announced Saturday, settles civil penalties with the U.S.
   Justice Department, but doesn't stop any potential criminal
   prosecution. The Federal Housing Finance Agency sued JPMorgan and 17
   other banks for faulty mortgage bonds two years ago.
   Wall Street insiders were furious about the deal, noting that 80
   percent of the mortgages being probed were actually acquired from the
   failing banks Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns. JPMorgan reportedly
   took over the risky portfolio at the request of the U.S. government in
   the wake of the 2008-09 financial meltdown.
   ============ end of quote from article =================
       If such a bank is willing to part with $13 billion to avoid (even
   more?) civil liability, wouldn't they be willing to pay $20 million or
   so to clog up the federal courts with criminal prosecutions and thus
   reduce those courts' ability to engage in civil actions as well?  (See
   my "Denial of Disservice Attack")
