Did only one banker in the US go to prison for the Financial Crisis of 2007-08?












4















In the movies The Big Short (2015) and Capitalism, a love story (2009), it is claimed that only a single banker, Kareem Serageldin, went to prison for the Financial crisis of 2007–2008, for which many blame the practices of bankers.



Big Short quote:




Banks took the money the American people gave them, and used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers! And when all was said and done, only one single banker went to jail this poor schmuck!




Was this true at the time of the films?

  • "And then they blamed immigrants and poor people." Virtually everyone I know and read blames the banks and their bad practices. Anyone besides bankers blaming anyone other than bankers is the bigger claim to me.

    @fredsbend: I recall in the very early days of the financial crisis, an Australian tabloid's front page picture of am African American family who had lost their house, - the article blamed families like theirs for getting home loans they couldn't repay. Later opinion pieces turned on the bankers instead.

  • @odd I suppose an insidious slant might blame a demographic, heavily enforcing a negative stereotype, but "lax lending approvals" is a legitimate complaint placed squarely on the bankers, which is the only "slant" I've seen portrayed.

Only one Wall Street banker (a trader) went to jail. Other people, who could be considered bankers, were also jailed. No Wall Street CEOs were jailed.



Financial Times, August 9, 2017:




In the US prosecutors have won convictions of 324 mortgage lenders, loan officers, real estate brokers, developers and others who were at the front end of a chain of events that contributed to the crisis, according to Sigtarp, the federal agency overseeing government bailout funds.



The most senior executive convicted was Lee Farkas, the chairman of Taylor Bean & Whitaker, a Florida mortgage lender that was at the front end of the chain. Taylor Bean’s collapse caused the failure of Colonial Bank, at the time one of the biggest in US history.



On Wall Street, and not included in Sigtarp’s count of credit crisis-related cases, one trader, Kareem Serageldin of Credit Suisse, went to prison after pleading guilty to inflating his portfolio of asset-backed securities.
