He moved the Christian world when he stopped in the middle of robbing an Indianapolis check cashing store to spend 10 minutes praying with a clerk. (See original story here.) In the interview above, he now says he robbed the place because he'd been unemployed for a year and his family was about to be evicted.
Unemployed for a year and facing eviction from the home he shares with his family.
I expect to see more and more seemingly senseless crimes and more and more normal American families face these incredibly stressful situations. What is especially sad is that Smith chose a crime with very little reward in comparison to the risk one takes robbing a store. The odds of capture are high, as are the odds of a stiff prison sentence. All for (at best) a couple of hundred dollars.
Be a banker, however. Run your world bank into the ground by ''investing'' in derivatives (a product you the banker in truth cannot even define because the product is so obtuse no one knows what it REALLY is). Have your friends in the Federal Reserve (the private bank that holds the American people hostage) go to Washington and demand more debt be taken on by the American people so the friendly Fed Res. can create more money out of thin air, and then give it to your busted bank with no clear definition of repayment terms, and then hold the American public on the hook for not only the new debt, but the interest paid to the Fed Res. for the money they just created!
Then, in addition to your $5 or $15 or $50,000,000 yearly salary, have your friends on the bank's board vote that you deserve a ''bonus'' of a few million more for your hard work in getting your bank out of trouble. Your friends on the board will do so because you sit on the boards of THEIR banks and companies, and will happily return the favor for them when the time comes.
And what is the downside for this crime? In the worst case, shareholders sue the bank. All that does is cost the same shareholders money as the bank uses its cash flow to hire additional attorneys to defend itself. Should the suit be victorious, again cashflow is used to pay the damages.
At that point, the thief can resign his position, take a $100,000,000 'Golden Parachute' (a golden shower for all the suckers paying the bill) and use one of the bank's Falcon 7X's for one final trip - to see that Herman the Interior Designer is doing a good job re-working the summer house on the French Riviera.
Greg Smith? His family will be without a home by Christmas. If he thought it was hard to find work before, just wait until he's released from prison in a year or 2.
