On March 14, 2014, Stanford, MIT, NBER make clear their joint financial liability for everything Stanley Fischer does while in office. Fischer only has procedural immunity for himself as a public official. He does not have substantial immunity. His procedural immunity does not transfer to others. Even procedural immunity likely doesn’t apply when the person was part of a business conspiracy from before public office that continued in office.
Stanford is tightly linked to banks, regulators, financial services in general, tech companies and so on. So all these nodes are linked together. When they know of and support wrong doing and get benefits from government, financial institutions, regulators or ratings agencies, they are jointly liable for the losses caused to others. This includes antitrust approvals that should not be given and ratings that are too high for the bonds of countries involved, whether Russia or the US.
