This says it all:

"Wachovia’s new owner paid $160 million in fines and penalties, less than 2 percent of its $12.3 billion profit in 2009."

Maybe I should start trafficking in child slaves - and for every 100 I enslave I will just pay a fine of 2 children to the government. That'll teach me.

No, don't go into human trafficking. Keep it money laundering which is nice and clean with no human faces and you may have stumbled on the best money making idea that has come along in years.

Quite well, they are paying themselves huge bonuses (at our expense of course).

...how much money, do you think, were paid to the high ranting bank officials by the cartels, to look the other way.

Spelling mistake, forgivable. Making a spelling mistake, while correcting a spelling mistake - priceless.

4. Skitt’s Law

It is an online version of the proofreading truism Murphy’s Law, also known as Hartman’s Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation: “any article or statement about correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling is bound to contain at least one error”.

I wasn't correcting the spelling so much as enjoying an incidentally accurate statement.
