Another example of how we can’t afford privatized health insurance. Aetna made $3 billion in profits in 2016, yet denies care without having doctors review medical records. #MedicareForAll NOW! https://t.co/FS1MegHqot

Without conviction of the executives, however, the Rabobank guilty plea will ring hollow, sending the message to companies that it doesn’t matter what your officers and employees do; as long as you don’t try to cover it up, you will get off scot-free. https://t.co/B5JZHoXVti

Update: The Rabobank plea deal was for defrauding the U.S. by lying to regulators, marking a potential shift in bank prosecutions for money laundering, says @HeatherLoweGFI. Also, plenty of additional detail from court documents:

#Rabobank Executive A was Rabo's #OCC Examiner, when Rabo was under a Formal Agreement with OCC to improve #AML/BSA, when she left OCC to join Rabo. DIRECT CONFLICT. How was that permitted???

[Heather Lowe @HeatherLoweGFI]

#Rabobank Executive D is example of #AML/BSA #ComplianceSuperhero. She did everything she cd to get Rabo back on track. But fired for her efforts.

[Heather Lowe @HeatherLoweGFI]

#Rabobank was NOT charged with #AML/BSA violations but with LYING TO OCC & COVERING IT ALL UP. Signaling new approach to AML/BSA prosecution? I expect to see Execs A, B & C prosecuted.
