Barry Ritzholtz http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2010/05/10-most-corrupt-us-capitalists/ comments on the 10 Most Corrupt US Capitalists, published by Alternet http://www.alternet.org/story/146819/.
The Alternet article goes into more detail on each, but those identified include names most will remember:

2. Alan Greenspan
3. Larry Summers
4. Phil and Wendy Gramm
5. Jamie Dimon
6. Stephen Friedman
7. Robert Steel
8. Henry Paulson

10. Goldman Sachs:
-Joshua Bolton, chief of staff for George W. Bush, was a Goldman man
-Current New York Fed President William Dudley is a Goldman man
-Current Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler has been a responsible regulator under Obama, but he was a deregulatory hawk during the Clinton years, and worked at Goldman for nearly two decades before that.

If you've not heard this before, one reason (of many) might be "# 2's" wife: Andrea Mitchell of NBC.
The (Goldfinger) Department of State also has a number of "Goldies".
And now you know why I call this The Goldfinger Chronicles.
