I read an article this morning about how BoA is now "too big to indict."

Switch newspapers, that doesn't match recent history. Did you read this article about how the U.S. brought a UK company to justice (or shakedown) for laundering drug money?

HSBC to pay $1.9 billion to settle US money-laundering case Los Angeles Times [latimes.com] British bank HSBC agrees to pay $1.9 billion to settle a U.S. money-laundering case. The settlement allows HSBC to avoid criminal penalties

It would seem fair if the responsible executives served some hard time. So on that point, you have to wonder about the system. Nevertheless, there is still some justice out there, if imperfect like everything else.
