The Chickenshit Club

Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives

Jesse Eisinger

This book delves into the reasons why no bankers were jailed after the financial crisis and why CEOs seem to escape punishment for wrongdoing. In a fast-paced, eye-opening look at the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jesse Eisinger provides a clear and detailed glimpse into the evolution of the government's approach to corporate crime. With insider references and revealing looks into trading desks, corporate boardrooms, and the offices of prosecutors and FBI agents, this book is a wake-up call and a chilling read.

Convictions are NEVER guaranteed. If we have sufficient evidence to indict & go to trial, we must do so even if there is a chance of an acquittal. Hence, it’s more important to try cases than to win cases. See also the book, “The Chickenshit Club” by @eisingerj      source
