Eric Holder vows Wall Street prosecutions on the way ? and soon - Washington Times
Just because itÂ’s been five years since the nation suffered a dramatic economic hit from Wall Street corporate losses doesnÂ’t mean prosecutions arenÂ’t coming, said Attorney General Eric Holder, on Tuesday.
In fact, itÂ’s just the opposite, he said. Mr. Holder vowed he wasnÂ’t leaving his government position until businesses have paid the price for the financial drag he faults them for creating.
“My message is, anybody who’s inflicted damage on our financial markets should not be of the belief that they are out of the woods because of the passage of time,” he said, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “If any individual or any institution is banking on waiting things out, they have to think again.”
Mr. Holder said prosecutions are coming — and soon.
