LOL! Neither "packaging correlated assets doesn't make them magically AAA, so we'll also commit ratings fraud", neither "uninsured money at a bank can be lost in sudden market shifts (or simply mismanagement or fraud)" are/were unknowns. These people took risks KNOWINGLY, because they were rewarded handsomely by it. Now and then it rears its ugly face and we're supposed to pay the check? Give me a break.

I'm struggling to understand how taking the risk of "uninsured money at a bank can be lost in sudden market shifts" can reward one handsomely. Is there some way I can make spectacular gains by depositing money in a mismanaged bank?
