I think JP Morgan Chase (another scum company) pulled $4 billion out of Bernie’s scam and it was the tipping point that started the run.
As someone posted here - maybe you Lori? - Daley is a JP Morgan guy and Rahm is a Goldman Sachs guy while Buffett is a Wells Fargo guy.
They took out loads of competitors and got there businesses for free, made billions shorting them too. - Lehman, Bear, Wachovia, Indy Mac and the list goes on and on.
JP Morgan Chase - the Chase part is the Rockefellers.
IMHO....the entire oligarchy was in on the game...and it spun off the entire derivative/securitized mortgage mess as every “cover-up/re-coup attempt snow-balled and morphed into a bigger cow pie.
