One big one announced today. You and I do this we go to jail. The banksters get a light fine. Their CEOs should be in prison and banks broken up. There isn't anyone who doesn't believe there are conspiracies. If you were to tell me this was a plot by a secret shadow government to help their reptilian overlords gain more power in the world then I would say you were speculating beyond what is required for a satisfactory explanation. That would be a conspiracy theory. Though not a very good one as it involves things we don't know anything about and have no knowledge of, like reptilian aliens and a government competent enough to pull off complex projects. If this crime had been suspected because of unexpected fluctuations in exchange rates and you had said a group of bankers were illegally manipulating the currency markets, that would also be a conspiracy theory but because we'd have an effect (mysterious money making) and a cause (greedy bankers) it wouldn't raise too many eyebrows. And is also quite easy to unravel. It's the willing invention of unnecessary elements that sets the two apart. I'm sure we can all now go through recent and historical happenings and apply this law of not multiplying entities. For instance, a bunch of Islamic fighters, well armed, funded and organised had a plot to attack America. Lacking the sort of weapons needed to cross the Atlantic they got creative and hijacked a few planes... you know the rest, just don't add anything that isn't needed. http://news.yahoo.com/banks-fined-2-5-billion-plead-guilty-market-140814112.html http://news.yahoo.com/banks-fined-2-5-billion-plead-guilty-market-140814112.html
