Maybe you should take the time to read the rest of the thread....
The general perception, true or not, is that banks and bankers are worse than most other industries.
I think the rip off factor is just more overt in finance related industries as that is their only raison d'etre - to take money off people. I suppose the reductionist could say that that is all any business is about, though. Which is probably true.
But there are many sectors that are not about that - public service, police, medicine in some countries, nursing, most professions allied to health, teaching etc etc. It probably stands to reason that there are less cads in those fields than in banking or other business, as the motivation for entering the field in the first place is not the same.
However, there are good and bad in every walk of life and that's a fact. I'm sure it would be possible to do a study of sorts to look at conviction rates in various industries for various offenses - it would be interesting to see the results of that particular study....

Every company out there wants to make big profits for their shareholders, with customer satisfaction coming secondary to that primary goal.
Banks are no worse than any other industry you are to mention.
