Yeah they were only mass selling $600 phones to a lot of consumers with negative net worth.

It's not like bankers were tackling people in the streets forcing them to sign mortgage documents.

What happened was a typical mania, panic, and crash. It will happen in places in the world over and over and over again. I didn't see these protesters descending on the offices of Silicon Valley internet companies that were all too happy to take cash from the hot IPO market in the late 90s to buy expensive cars and do nothing more with it.
