Roger Ebert: “I have also felt despair at the way financial instruments were created and manipulated to deliberately defraud the ordinary people in this country. At how home buyers were peddled mortgages they couldn’t afford, and civilian investors were sold worthless “securities” based on those bad mortgages. Wall Street felt no shame in backing paper that was intended o fail, and selling it to customers who trusted them. This is clear and documented. It is theft and fraud on a staggering scale.”
He forgot one thing. He forgot to mention nobody is in jail for this clear “theft and fraud on a staggering scale.”
