First, read this expose by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone wrote earlier this week about how regulators at the SEC destroyed thousands of records thereby impeding investigations into these obvious crimes –

Then take a minute to read this article about how the lobbyists from the big firms have already paid $11.2 million and counting for access and influence to the new UNCONSTITUTIONAL Congressional Super Committee -
