Add me to that list.
I don't believe that there is some "Illuminati Type" group pulling strings, but I have no doubt that banks (and their ex-coworkers in the government) understood full well the incredible damage that would be caused by the inevitable crash.
I actually happen to believe that there was a "As long as I walk away from it rich" mentality, and that the bailouts really were an afterthought. Does anyone really believe that the CEO of Bear Stearns actually give two-craps that the company went under? He walked away with his millions, laughing....
