I qualified my statement about Billions with "dramatization. Just like war movies are over dramatizations of real events.

They were spread out and happened at different times. I spent a year in Vietnam
I was deployed to over 20 locations and I saw shit that happened at different times in different locations, I even saw ROK's throw a VC out of a helicopter, I saw Puff unleash it's mini guns. And on the night of Tet I watched a Cobra, hanging not more than 50 above the house in which I lived, spit out 20 mm grenades and spray the graveyard with it's minigun, while I was dressed in black pajama's, I had just been awakened and rushed to the roof. I've seen what a bee hive round fired from a 105 mm howitzer can do to a platoon of VC (not pretty). I smelled and saw the 72 body bags of a company of the 173rd Airborne brigade, lying outside the mortuary tent at Dak To,and that's only part of what I have personally seen, and that was only one year.. Hollywood would compress all of that into one movie, about one person, platoon or company.
Same with Suits and Billions. After I retired I had a job as a law firm adminstrator, I got a taste of how law firms operate. Billions maybe fiction, but it does depict the attitudes, the mentality, the wheelings and dealings of hedge funds, private equity funds and the politics that goes on behind the scenes.

We watched a few seasons of it. If that show is not an exaggeration, we need to figure out how to change the economic system. The question is how?
By empowering state and federal oversight committees, cabinets and prosecuting attorney's., but money reaches out and corrupts everything.
