days after a factory collapse killed 1100 people, Bangladeshi authorities arrested its owner. (Man: WTF? Didn't my checks clear? I thought this was a capitalist country!) His assets were frozen. A judge ordered that his funds be used to pay workers' salaries and to compensate victims and their families. Mohammed Sohel Rana and 8 others face death by hanging if found guilty. Meanwhile, years after a fiscal collapse killed the global economy, the bankers away word of their fates from U.s. authorities. (Man 2: Record profits... huge raises... to the bailout!) (Man 3: U-S-A! U-S-A!)
