In 2012, the news story broke that at least sixteen major banks in the United States and Great
Britain had for many years falsified data to set a key economic index called LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate). This is a technical index that, roughly, sets interest rates for a wide range of financial issues, from home mortgages and credit card rates to payments on savings and investments. A CNBC anchor named Larry Kudlow said the banks’ actions were a “victimless crime” and he did not understand why prosecutors in both countries were pursuing legal actions against the banks. A reporter for Rolling Stone named Matt Taibbi challenged him, pointing out that artificially low rates might help some mortgage holders but would hurt investments of individual savers as well as investments by cities, states, and pension funds.
