The negative comments I've read on forums are mainly aimed at the beneficiaries of the loans; such as the Listin Diario and the Baez family. Why is the Listin Diario still operating? But why would the government close such an important asset? It's a historical institution, and has some value if it is to be sold. Should the government go after the family as well? Is the family liable for the banking fraud and collapse of economy? The people who make comments such as going after the kids have no real understanding of how the judicial system works.

Keep in mind that the B?ez family is very very wealthy. It has always been wealthy, even prior to this Baninter fiasco, which has brought shame to that family, again. Check the history books to see why I say again.
However, because the family is rich and powerful, those who envy them for being members of the privileged of the privileged, the upper class of the upper class; are the one's demanding the entire family to be punished and go through further humiliation.
Admiration, envy, and revenge are interrelated feelings that are never too far away from each other. Where ever one is present, the others are never far behind.
A person will have admiration to another person, as long that such person believes that he has the chance to ever be like those he admires or, at the very least, be thought of in very highly terms by those he admires. The moment he is rejected or it becomes clear that he will not be equal to them in any shape or form, he develops the feeling of envy. Envy is only one step away from revenge, which comes to play when such person gets the chance to execute it.
That is all that is behind all of this, at least when it concerns those people asking for the entire family to pay.
The one's responsible for the Baninter fiasco need to pay and are going to pay for their wrong doings. Their families, on the other hand, have little to no fault.
In a murder case, the murderer gets the punishment, not his entire family and no one asks for the family of a murderer to also pay with punishment; unless that family is seen as "privileged" in one way or another. Envy and revenge has plenty to do with that "minor" detail and lack of empathy towards those who did nothing wrong, but were unfortunate enough to be related to a villain and be rich too.
