If a blind eye is allowed and these scam artist allowed walk away....it's isn't much different than letting a known serial rapist continue to rape. Allowing such things will in time make these illicit activities to become the accepted norm.
Personally I would rather (figuratively) stick a knife in their eye and take the chance of starving, than meekly earn my feed by allowing someone to continually ass rape me.

We're talking past each other.
You referenced "banks" in your original post.
Threatening banks does no good.
All of my comments should be taken in that context.

Those are things I have actually seen happen to others. I don't believe you want a tide like either of those lifting your boat.....so if you have any morals or dignity, it does matter how you make your income.

I said: "what some consider unjust means".
I did not say illegal means.
If someone breaks the law, they should be prosecuted accordingly.
That is entirely different from going after the amorphous "banks".
It may not be possible to catch those who broke the law.
That does not justify punishing everyone else.

Truly believe that the treatment for many of the nations ills is education of the public on economics.
The other side is to allow people and business to reap what they sow.
Politicians are not capable of effectively regulating many of these things.
It it's even possible, they collectively lack the technical expertise to do it.
Politicians broke the system in the first place by forcing banks to make unwise loans.
Now they claim to be able to fix the problem they created.
No thanks, elected/appointed public servants.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
