But they had a ton of money in the end. They won. Who gives a shite if only one person went to jail? No one forced those subprime borrowers to take on mortgages they had no business taking on. And the country has almost fully recovered from it, as most knew it would.

They were pissed at the banks and rating agencies pretty much falsifying the ratings of the bonds and no one did anything about it

I had a pretty good thing going developing subdivisions and building specs before the big time fraud in subprime lending took off that caused it to collapse. Subprime was never perfect but it worked before banks got greedy. I lost a lot and fought with some serious depression over the fallout. You want to tell me everything is fully recovered?

Did you uh miss the entire Ryan Gosling dialogue at the end?
WTF are you talking about?
The only somberness was from Steve Carrell's character who that is what it was supposed to be? Did you miss the part where his numbers guys said "F them, let's take the money?"
And Berry didn't give a shite either way. He wasn't morally involved in it, he just liked the numbers game and proving his investors wrong.
Brad Pitt's character was a morality guy but he still made the trade and the two young guys were dancing and celebrating.
You really missed the boat on this one pal.
