People's default assumption seems to be that the prosecutors are corrupt, or dumb, or both.

Wasn't the Wells Fargo amount much smaller, in the millions? And someone is going to jail for that, too?

It's easy to be confused about Wells Fargo money laundering. There are just so many repeated cases of it every few years. To be specific, I said the Wachovia one, https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/03/us-bank-mexico... and yes, billions.

As for the prosecutors in general: they do a job. It's the DAs bringing indictments specifically that are corrupt as a rule.
