HAPPY ENDINGS.
IN THIS ACCOUNT OF HIS STRANGER-THAN-FICTION BAPTISM INTO THE CORRUPTED
WAYS OF WASHINGTON, NEIL BAROFSKY OFFERS AN IRREFUTABLE INDICTMENT, FROM
AN INSIDER OF THE BUSH AND OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS, OF THE MISHANDLING OF
THE $700 BILLION TARP BAILOUT FUND. IN BEHIND-THE-SCENES DETAIL, HE
REVEALS PROOF OF THE EXTREME DEGREE TO WHICH OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
BENT OVER BACKWARD TO SERVE THE INTERESTS OF WALL STREET FIRMS AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE BROADER PUBLIC
AND AT THE EXPENSE OF EFFECTIVE FINANCIAL REFORM. DURING THE HEIGHT OF
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN 2008, BAROFSKY GAVE UP HIS JOB AS A PROSECUTOR
IN THE U.S. ATTORNEY S OFFICE IN NEW YORK CITY, WHERE HE HAD CONVICTED
DRUG KINGPINS, WALL STREET EXECUTIVES, AND PERPETRATORS OF MORTGAGE
FRAUD, TO BECOME THE SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL IN CHARGE OF OVERSIGHT OF
THE SPENDING OF THE BAILOUT MONEY. FROM HIS FIRST DAY ON THE JOB, HIS
EFFORTS TO PROTECT AGAINST FRAUD AND TO HOLD THE BIG BANKS ACCOUNTABLE
FOR HOW THEY SPENT TAXPAYER MONEY WERE MET WITH OUTRIGHT HOSTILITY FROM
THE TREASURY OFFICIALS IN CHARGE OF THE BAILOUTS. BAROFSKY DISCLOSES
HOW, IN SERVING THE INTERESTS OF THE BANKS, TREASURY SECRETARY TIMOTHY
GEITHNER AND HIS TEAM WORKED WITH WALL STREET EXECUTIVES TO DESIGN
PROGRAMS THAT WOULD FUNNEL VAST AMOUNTS OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEIR FIRMS
AND WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO GAME THE MARKETS AND MAKE HUGE PROFITS
WITH ALMOST NO RISK AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY, WHILE REPEATEDLY FIGHTING
BAROFSKY S EFFORTS TO PUT THE NECESSARY FRAUD PROTECTIONS IN PLACE. HIS
INVESTIGATIONS ALSO UNCOVERED ABJECT MISMANAGEMENT OF THE BAILOUT OF
INSURANCE GIANT AIG AND GEITHNER S DECISION TO ALLOW THE PAYMENT OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN BONUSES
INCLUDING $7, 700 TO A KITCHEN WORKER AND $7,000 TO A MAIL ROOM
ASSISTANT
AND THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION S TARP CZAR LOBBIED FOR THE
EXECUTIVES TO RETAIN THEIR HIGH PAY. PROVIDING DETAILS ABOUT HOW,
MEANWHILE, THE INTERESTS OF HOMEOWNERS AND THE BROADER PUBLIC WERE
BETRAYED, BAROFSKY RECOUNTS HOW GEITHNER AND HIS TEAM STEADFASTLY FAILED
TO FIX GLARING FLAWS IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION S HOMEOWNER RELIEF
PROGRAM POINTED OUT BY BAROFSKY AND OTHER BAILOUT WATCHDOGS, REJECTING
ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES, WHICH UNLEASHED A WAVE OF ABUSES BY MORTGAGE
PROVIDERS AGAINST HOMEOWNERS, EVEN CAUSING SOME WHO WOULD NOT HAVE LOST
THEIR HOMES OTHERWISE TO GO INTO FORECLOSURE.
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
