...Justice Department admitted last week that two people were primarily responsible for the scheme "in a criminal sense." The department defended this act of amnesty by arguing that it wanted a fast settlement so that the banks could get their money back quickly. Said Assistant Attorney General Stephen Trott: "The notion that the Justice Department is being soft is ridiculous. E.F. Hutton will repay every red cent plus interest." But critics in Congress fumed. Democratic Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware said, "Respect for the law suffers immensely when the public reads that you have (the Hutton) scheme going...
...cases pursued by federal authorities involved white- collar offenses, but that figure rose to 24% in 1984.

But the jurors indicated in interviews after the acquittal that they regarded the tapes as inconclusive; they were more concerned about the credibility of the witnesses...
...someone to touch the trigger. President Reagan and the passage of the tax bill played an important role." Some moneymen cited Reagan's apparent move away from the influence of supply-side economists, who favor tax cuts and play down the impact of budget deficits. Said Donald Trott, a market strategist for the A.G. Becker investment firm: "Increasingly, people in the financial community feel that supply-side economics is voodoo economics.
