They have conspired with Washington legislators and regulators to sentence the entire U.S. economy to a crisis of almost biblical proportions.
Once again, they have lit the fuse on a financial disaster that will cost everyday people trillions of dollars.
This time though, it's America's estimated 70,000 pension funds that could be at risk...
