"Deserve prison"? Did they commit a crime?
3 comments

In 2008? I think it was fraud yes. What would you call packaging mortgages you know are worthless in pretty wrapping to be able to sell them to the next bagholder?

That it temporarily works and it's how everyone does business isn't an excuse.

Prove they knew they were bad
What do you think?
yes, they 100000% did. They defrauded their clients, the government and each other. They committed multiple levels of fraud and all got away with it.
