Attorney General Eric Holder: No Person or Company Is Too Big to Indict

‘We have ongoing investigations that I’m not at liberty to talk about that involve significant financial institutions’

HOLDER: “Well let me make this really clear. There are no institutions that are too big to indict. There are no individuals who are in such high-level positions that they cannot be indicted, criminally investigated, and we have brought charges against thousands of people over the course of these last four and a half, almost five years. We have brought significant cases against some of the largest financial institutions in the country, the last of which was the JPMorgan case which significantly did not include a resolution of the criminal investigation that is ongoing, and could result in charges against either the institution or individuals who are engaged, who are involved in those activities. We have ongoing investigations that I’m really not at liberty to talk about, but involve significant financial institutions, and the focus of those investigations is not only on the institutions but on individuals as well. So I think that, you know, what you're going to have to do is wait for us to be finished with all of the things that we want to do and then look and make an assessment of how well we did the kinds of charges that we brought.”
