still big as a criminal. is he the type of financial mastermind that cause the financial crisis? absolutely not. this is a guy who is, was not very sophisticated about his crime was not very malicious about his crime. and but he admitted that he committed a crime. this is a classic example of where the justice department takes a shortcut. they want to generate a blister for themselves as going after financial groups, and everyone wants them to do that. any time and time again, the people that they're going after are these little min, they're not going after the big fish are not going after the bankers for the most earth. they're certainly not going after the senior executives at the banks or other big financial institutions that were the decision makers leading up to the financial crisis. in

i i. this is the story of how massive global banks made billions by packaging toxic mortgage loans and financial products and sold them all around the world. the american politicians pull the trigger it all started with the political, philosophical, grand emission of allowing everyone to own home our government is supporting home ownership because it is good for america. it is good for our families. it is good for our economy. part of the american dream that was pushed by, you know, all sorts of president clinton bush,
3:17 pm
whatever for years was the home ownership the authority kept the interest rates very low in order to make money very, to boil wall street. and politicians had agreed to work together. wall street with the pursuit of profit politicians at the pursuit of government interference and economic growth. which could be turned into election victory for years to come. this was the beginning of the housing bubble. when the bubbles expanding everybody as a winner. everybody is a genius. the lenders make money. the real estate development companies make money . the construction workers make money. everybody loves a bubble. but this was
3:18 pm
a devil's deal between politicians and wall street. the setting to a perfect storm. what happens in a boon is lenders take more and more risk, and borrowers take for a risk because they both think things are safer than they appear to be. and one of the ways they persuade themselves to take more risk is through financial innovations on wall street and created the risky loans called prime for americans to deal afford to pay the bank loan that they had just applied for the public were given access to 0. low income and even no job loan.
3:19 pm
so if you want to be absolute craziness, it would be the ninja loan. so ninja stands for no income, no job, and no assets. and the idea is that you would lend money to people that gave you know, information about whether they had any income, whether the at any job and then you add that it will allow you to grow enormously because now you can loan in the u. s. context 2 ends of millions of people have a lot of how many people out there are there who can't get alone?
3:20 pm
tens of millions of people in the united states, tens of millions people, and friends. in these circumstances. this goes under the general category of predation in the united states. the people that were targeted for the worst, well, were overwhelmingly a combination of 4 demographic factors. blacks, latinos, the elderly, and the males. that is incredibly, more as to why, almost everywhere in the world. these things are crimes in ah, you talk to loans, became a gold rush for the whole us banking, financial industry all the major actors of wall street,
3:21 pm
one of the piece of the some prime party. goldman sachs, lehman brothers, morgan stanley, merrill lynch bear stearns. j. p. morgan city group, and so the friends extended itself, loans were sought by the public by falsifying their own financial situation on loan application. therefore, the public and banks are complicit. committee bank fraud. the i my name is richard. i was senior vice president and business chief
3:22 pm
underwriter for 2nd grade. mm. at the time city group was the largest thing. and it was my responsibility to make sure that the $90000000000.00 a year that we were purchasing and mortgage loans that were originated by other banks and mortgage companies. these met our policy standards in early 2006. i discovered that over 60 percent of these mortgages did not meet our guidelines. they were by definition defective. when i discovered this in this was june of 2006 silly me. i thought it was my job. i started issuing warnings because i was supposed to make sure that these met our policy guidelines and i sent email. i put
3:23 pm
it in my weekly report. i made committee presentations. i mean, i'm not a shy guy. i cornered people in the hallways at the water fountain and everyone say, yeah, yeah we, we, we know we're, we need to fix that. but nothing would happen. and through 20062007, the volumes kept increasing and the rate of defective mortgages increased from 16 to an excess of 80 percent 80 percent of these mortgages that we were in turn, selling and giving our representations and warranties that they were that met our policy guidelines did not meet our policy guidelines. this is miss representation. that is true. as a matter of fact, it was fraud. i. i've seen
3:24 pm
plenty of alone documents with my own eyes that were falsified, and the borrowers still find them as if they were correct. people who were typically hairdressers gardeners and such reporting incomes of over $100000.00 a year. now the actual incomes would be in the range of about $16000.00. in those cases, their income is inflated by 6 types. you would have waiters in a restaurant showing that they made $150000.00 a year. i mean that clearly is is out of wine, but nonetheless, the loan type permitted them to happen. richard bowen and his staff very carefully, very professionally,
3:25 pm
are documenting that these loans. the refs and warranties are false. but city is overwhelmingly turning around and reselling these low city group. didn't want to know because if it looked at these places, it couldn't possibly continue to use them. it was all about generating revenue. people who worked on wall street, it seemed of the idea of securitized mortgages, packaging mortgages up into securities. they actually arrange to buy the mortgages . they would package them up into securities. they would file documents with the security exchange commission that they had to be able to call them security and then they would sell them to investors all around the world. and all along the way
