Domestic Financial Terrorist (DFT's) 

Any executive within the Banking, Mortgage or Insurance industries that, despite their own failed job performance, still believe they should be grossly over-compensated at the expense of stockholders, or more recently, taxpayers, via bailout monies.
Executives at AIG are a prime example of a Domestic Financial Terrorist (DFT's). After they run their company into the ground, they keep their job then pay themselves millions of taxpayer bailout money as a bonus.

Also known as Poo-Flinging-Office-Monkeys.(No offense to monkeys, they likely would have done a better job running AIG).

Financial Terrorists 

Financial Terrorists can be one person, group of people,small medium or large corporations that can get the government to not make laws or regulations to protect the general population from their greed and corruption
When Goldman-sachs prevented our government from regulating derivatives, and changed banking laws to under capitalize from leveraging savings from 1:4 to 1:40 or more, Goldman-sachs became "Financial Terrorists" against every non 1%er on earth. These monsters make loans to people, then bet against them, then raise the loan rate until the person defaults on the loan.
