Where did the CEO's of the failed company's go to University?

I do find the populist sentiment here hilarious though. Fear that evil Wall Street, right?

I agree it is the teachers who spoonfed those people A's so they could get into those schools, and then spoonfeed those people's kids so they could get into those schools to keep this whole cycle running

U of Iowa produces a lot of engineers - I have worked with some. Is that what they are known for? Seems like I know of lot of Iowa engineering school grads.
yeah - Harvard better watch it. If they keep producing more of these "bandit" CEOs - it is gonna make them look bad. Like 'WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING these grads?"

It's not that Harvard produces bad people. It's just that nearly everyone on Wall Street comes from an Ivy League school. So naturally if you produce a list of the CEOs on Wall Street and the schools they went to, Ivy Leagues will be highly over-represented.

Yeah, and these goofballs also went to church every Sunday.

Just because they didn't use their education or moral lessons properly when the opportunity to make obscene amounts of money arose doesn't mean the church or the school is at fault. Just that they ignored their lessons.
