Bill Black and Yanis Varoufakis discuss financial corruption in the USA and the EU. Bill Black needs no introduction. As a lawyer he filed over 1700 indictments for financial corruption in the US, from the S&L scandal to this day. He was also the nemesis of five US Senators who did their utmost to cover up financial fraud. He is also an academic, best-selling author and former bank regulator. Currently an associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, Bill assisted Icelandic and French leaders responding to their fiscal crises and has testified to US Congress about the financial crisis, specifically on regulatory failures and the role of control fraud in the bubble and crisis.
