In fact, he testified that by 2007 80 percent of those loans were defective. Ponzi Schemes [...] by Robert Murphy, Marketwatch SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission issued its finding that the devastating economic events of the past few years were “preventable.†The FCIC heaped the blame on many parties, but drew the wrong conclusion when it faulted the government and Federal Reserve for lax oversight. On the contrary, the government and Fed encouraged the bubble and crash, and current policies are [...] On Feb. 14, 2008, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency sent a seven-page letter to Citigroup Inc.’s chief executive, Vikram Pandit, summarizing the results of a special supervisory review its bank examiners had recently concluded. The gist of the regulator’s findings: Citigroup’s internal controls were a mess. So were its valuation methods for subprime mortgage bonds, which had spawned record losses at the bank. Among other things, “weaknesses were [...] JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., has harsh words for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They are “the biggest disasters of all time,†Dimon told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission last fall, according to his just-released interview.

Reform of our financial system is not assured by the Dodd-Frank law, Angelides [...] The housing bubble collapse, not over-leveraged banks, brought global financial markets to their knees in 2008.

The reluctance comes partly from what truths restructuring will reveal. Indeed. Were we to actually open the box and have a look inside, we would find chocolate-covered dog @#$%&!. Lots of them. We would discover that they were intentionally brokered and sold to [...] Although it has NEVER been reported by the press, things are turning out like many of us tin foil conspiracy nuts figured they would turn out; the big failed banks, using money forced out of the taxpayers’ hands, are buying up all the other banks.
