Balls ups? They knew what they were doing. Everyone in the game knew they were working with accounting fictions. The only excuse is that many fund managers who weren’t in the vanguard were under pressure to match the returns of those who were. The bailouts were prepared well in advance and announced with the usual wartime emergency rhetoric – Bush’s “there will be ample time to debate the origins of this problem, now is the time to solve it.”
