[@anonymousonlineuser6543]

If it was fraud why they are not in court? Why is no one indited ?(I feel conspiracy theory is coming from you)...These hearings resulted in NOTHING, why? Because these hearing were designed for simple, dumb Americans to see who they need to hate next and for senators to puff their chests and posture as defenders of ethics (laughable). To conclude here is the example so you understand how market works: If I buy stock at 10 and hold it until it goes to 100 I make zero money. I only make money when I sell. So when I change my opinion about the stock and see that company is really a bubble and going to implode or become a dog in a long run I sell my stock to other investors on the market. Oh, wait , according to you and the dumb Senators that would be ethics violation or a fraud, would not it. I have to instead sit on my investment and wait until company goes bankrupt and only then try to sell my stock, cause that what is Congressmen and their wives do.....

After the 2008 crash, Goldman Sachs had to pay a $550 million settlement for their role in it. Following that settlement, Goldman received $12.9 billion in bailouts and $10 billion in government loans as part of a larger financial bail-out plan. In June 2009, after the firm repaid the government loan from the U.S. Treasury, Goldman made some of the largest bonus payments in its history due to its strong financial performance. Immunity and Socialism for the rich, cold hard capitalism for the rest of us.

+Daniel Baker Hi Daniel. I really could`t agree more with you and I sincerely hope that the pieces that were left are worth picking up and starting over. The biggest problem with these fuckers is, that they are not accountable to anyone.They do exactly as they please with complete anonymity. The situation is somewhat similar over here in the UK but on a much smaller scale. The icelandic government got it completely right for they jailed the bankers who brought their country to its knees, and rightly so. Anyways, you look well young enough to make good what the bankers did to you. May I add that there are thousands of other individuals who feel the same as we do.

TheRiceowlex Its common knowledge sir, they are absolutely securities. They are literally called mortgage backed "securities". They are not securities to the borrower, but the lender bundles together thousands of these and sells off the bundles and those bundle are/were bought as securities. Just like timberwolf. Thats why the bubble happened, because wall street was making so much money selling these securities and they pushed for more product (mortgages) to sell......this is all common knowledge sir.

I risk more jail time selling a dime bag of weed than these people do for collectively ruining the lives of billions of people on a global scale, and this crap happens EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Oh and look out for the cheap oil prices now too. This will implode just like the housing crisis. First drive down the cost so the little guys in the oil biz can't compete and are forced to sell and/or go out of business. Then the top 1%ers can come in and buy low, and then drive the cost back up to astronomical levels. It's coming folks, and you know it. And we do nothing to stop them.

I graduated high school in 2007. I enrolled in a public university (an inexpensive one as far as universities go). My father cosigned my loans as we were not affluent people as he was a carpenter. When the crash in 2008 occured my father, a union member, was layed off for 2 full years. He was unable to back my loans during this uneasy time due to financials. I was forced to drop out prematurely - not due to bad grades, laziness or the inability to comprehend what was in front of me, but rather these slimy greed driven whores. Im 30 now and make a decent living as a laborer however I'd much rather had continued a potential career in medicine than having my body broken down on a daily basis just to survive.

I put the maximum amount in both my daughters ESA's every year while they were growing up. This included the crash. After that my investments soared. Second, I had my kids take dual credit courses in high school. Both my kids were already almost juniors by the time they got to college. With scholarships they are both now attending expensive private universities and there will be ZERO debt when they graduate, including their graduate degrees. Say you didn't have parents worth a shat who didn't save. You could still go to college without debt. Its called starting at a local community college then transferring to a low cost state school. Then you do something revolutionary....you WORK your way through school. There are numerous ways to go to college without acquiring debt. Get off your arse and find a way!!!

Then, they proceeded to bet against them through “insurance” policies from AIG once they were off their books.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Very smart…NEVER do variable rates…always Fixed Rates with no Pre-payment penalties and if you can get it as an “assumable” mortgage that’s the trifecta. Then you can easily sell your house for the low rate you locked in at later if needed.

[@rabbit251]

Good point! The Wall Street bankers were so afraid that they were going to prosecuted for fraud like Enron. But this was problematic according to Obama's AG because these banks were so large already that the SEC had attorneys in their offices monitoring them. This was going to be their defense, plus the millions they would pour into defending themselves and millions the government would spend to prosecute them. Sadly, Obama decided to cut loses and bail them them out. The worst part is that these banks quickly went back to business as normal. Obama was so green. When Reagan bailed out Chrysler is came with lots of conditions including selling off their corporate jet and all artwork. Obama had no conditions and so Wall St. used the money to pay themselves their usual bonuses. How sick was that! Ruined the global economy for years. Makes me sick today every time I see Jamie Diamond giving advice. That MFer should be in prison along with the rest of his ilk. Instead they are smug SOBs because let's face it, they beat the system. Did you know that if Obama hadn't bailed out Wall St. and gave the money directly to the people (as Biden did at the end of pandemic), every American would have gotten $20,000. If you were a family of 4 you would've gotten $80,000. They would have been free to pay off loans and save the small banks, but these big ones would've collapsed. It would have been such justice as all of Wall St. went broke and new banks more beholden to customers would've emerged. The economy would have suffered, but it would have gone on. People who had bad house loans if they had a job could've restructured their mortgages saving a lot of the local, small banks (which most ended up consolidating and getting bought out).
