In 2015, richard fuld, the last ceo of lehman brothers, gave a talk in which, according to an article in the wall street journal, "he outlined what he called the 'perfect storm' of events that led to the financial crisis, saying 'it all started with the government' and policies that subsidized cheap loans for people to buy homes in order to them chase the american dream."
