Some people in jail for selling small amounts marijuana and Drumm and Co destroyed a lot of families. The suicide rate increase over the years after the burst could be directly related to the behaviour of bankers. The bank employees did not take their lives at the same rate at their victims. My thoughts are with those families today. The judge didn’t ever mention the victims.
