Between Goldman Sachs working with the Greek government to hide their debt, or the bribes paid by industry to officials to grease their palms... as Sarbanes-Oxley says, "Business has played a big role in the crisis that threatens to destroy the Eurozone and European currency."

It wasn't properly regulated and you had corrupt government officials.
Both those things probably go hand in hand.
Cough*USA*cough.
