Sorry voted no. Paid actors depicting evil bankers don't provide a full picture of the reality and seems nothing more than propaganda to vilify financial institutions.
Don't forget bailouts were paid with YOUR money by your government who took from you. Don't blame the banks when they were practically forced to take funds and (at least in the States) forced to provide loans to people who had no business receiving one. All of this economic strife was born from a real estate "spread the wealth" Ponzi scheme forged by progressives in the 60s. Everyone who knew what the heck was going on saw this years ago.
Do a search and read about the historical evolution of the Community Reinvestment Act 1977. The act basically submitted banks who were Federally Insured (FDIC) to evaluation whether or not they met needs of the community for which they were chartered. No room for corruption in this system for sure. /sarcasm Also note the key persons involved in getting the act into law (especially Chicago) who were/are redistributive wealth action groups. Every time we get some sort of broad-reaching socialist policy it ends in disaster. I don't mean police and firemen, roads but Health Care, Social Security and Financial Reform.
EDIT:
I hate posting YouTube silliness but look at the date and person in this video: I remember this when it was going on but the Feds "assessed" a Texas bank that probably didn't have the correct political affiliation and forced them to give money.

I don't see what that has to do with Wall Street casino-style banking? It wasn't the Main Street arms of the banks who caused this problem.
Why does everyone always target the banks and the bankers? Its like if your a banker your automatically perceived as a tosser.
That's the rub, it wasn't their choice but the slow and constant needling by grass roots and top-down (Fed) activists to force small/medium regional banks to give money to poor people that caused this problem. Eventually our Fed tried to distribute the troubled assets into Fannie adn Freddie but it was doomed. Obama admits it and it is clear that our depressed real estate market was caused by "fair" theory that has no place in free markets.
