The "scandal", contra Black, was not due to a few bad apples, but to a systemic change in finance in the USA.

Huh? Black doesn't talk of a few bad apples but of systemic control fraud, that is, widespread criminal behaviour by the management. That is "a systemic change" in finance: in the culture of it, in the practice of it, and in the regulation of it.

Part of what I meant by mischaracterization.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Ok, a lot of bad apples. And his control fraud line has nothing to do with actual law.
