In that fairy tale, there was a rich bank C.E.O. named Mr. Bank C.E.O. who made $50,000,000 in bonuses and stock options by lending out loans to people who couldn't pay them back. Afterwards, the loans went bad, the bank's employees lost their jobs, the bank's shareholders lost their money, the homeowners lost their homes, taxpayers with no connection to the bank had to pay money to finance this crisis while Mr. Bank C.E.O. got to keep all his $50,000,000 and live happily ever after in his Colorado mansion.
