Over a third of a trillion dollars was mishandled. Corporate media in the U.S. haven't covered this widely (or at all, when I posted this yesterday!). If corporate media stepped on the toes of someone powerful in covering this story, they might not get access the next time a banking issue needed to be covered. Rinse and repeat a million times and you get the media we have today.
in 2001, a day before 9/11 rumsfeld told on air that 2.3 trillion is missing from pentagon accounts. that was before iraq/afganistan wars. day later "something" crashed into pentagon hq, precisely dep. of accounting.
