While the world economy is still trying to recover from the 2008 financial crisis, most of the bankers who caused the collapse are still enjoying big salaries and have faced few, if any, consequences.

Except in Iceland and, more recently, Ireland.

Three senior Irish bankers have been given prison sentences ranging from two years to three and a half years for their part in a €7.2bn conspiracy to mislead the public about the true financial health of Anglo Irish Bank.
