Goldman Sachs is a global investment banking and securities firm founded in 1869 with headquarters in New York City and offices worldwide. It provides services including global investments, trading, asset management, and mergers and acquisition advice. While known for its "long-term greedy" philosophy of prioritizing long-term gains over short-term losses, Goldman Sachs has also been involved in several famous crises, including underwriting debt for Penn Central Transportation Company which later went bankrupt, receiving bailout funds from the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis, and paying large fines for its role in the Abacus CDO scandal.

The rise and fall of Lehman brother
Lehman Brothers was a global investment bank that filed for bankruptcy in 2008 due to excessive risk taking and overexposure to subprime mortgages. Some key factors that contributed to its failure included being highly leveraged with a debt-to-equity ratio of 31 in 2007, risky investments in the housing market, weak corporate governance and oversight of risk, and a compensation system that rewarded short-term gains without accountability for losses. The bankruptcy filing had widespread global impacts, including job losses, reduced company profits, increased borrowing costs, and loss of wealth for investors.
Causes and Effects of Failure
The failure of Lehman Brothers in 2008 was the largest bankruptcy in US history. A number of factors contributed to its failure, including excessive risk taking on housing assets, high leverage, and unethical actions. When housing markets declined, Lehman's vulnerable financial position was exposed and it collapsed, with global economic effects. The replacement of the Glass-Steagall Act allowed greater risk taking and conflicts of interest, which also contributed to Lehman's downfall.
The worldcom scandal
WorldCom began in 1984 as a small long distance provider called Long Distance Discount Services, and grew rapidly through acquisitions in the 1990s, changing its name to WorldCom and becoming the second largest long distance provider after merging with MCI in 1997. However, as the telecom boom ended in 2000, WorldCom's revenues fell short of expectations while debt from mergers remained high. In 2002, WorldCom admitted to fraudulently inflating earnings through improper accounting, including reducing reserve accounts by $2.8 billion and improperly capitalizing regular operating expenses. This caused its stock price to plummet from $64.50 to under $1, and it filed for the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history at that time

Lehman Collapse
The collapse of Lehman Brothers was precipitated by the subprime mortgage crisis. Subprime lending involved making loans to borrowers who did not qualify for market interest rates. By 2008, 25% of subprime loans were delinquent or in foreclosure. Government policies in the 1970s and 1990s loosened lending standards and encouraged risky lending. Financial innovation like securitization and CDOs made the risks associated with subprime mortgages difficult to assess. In September 2008, JP Morgan demanded billions in collateral from Lehman, which Lehman could not pay, leading to its bankruptcy.

An internal audit uncovered the fraud, and Worldcom later filed for the largest bankruptcy in US history at that time. Enron used accounting loopholes and off-balance sheet entities to hide billions in debt and losses. When its stock price declined, Enron's true financial situation was revealed and it filed for bankruptcy in 2001. In response, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to increase accounting oversight and impose harsher penalties for corporate and accounting fraud.

However, falling revenues due to the dot-com bust and merger failures led to huge pressure to meet Wall Street expectations. WorldCom's leaders, including CEO Ebbers, resorted to fraudulent accounting by misclassifying operating expenses as capital expenditures, hiding $3.8 billion in losses. An internal audit uncovered the fraud in 2002, leading to WorldCom filing for bankruptcy, destroying $180 billion in shareholder value and costing 57,000 employees their jobs.

Troubled Assets Relief Program
The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was a $700 billion emergency fund established by the U.S. government in 2008 to stabilize the country's financial system during the subprime mortgage crisis. TARP provided capital to financial institutions to strengthen their balance sheets and increase lending. While TARP helped prevent further economic damage, it faced criticism for bailing out Wall Street firms and not providing enough aid to struggling homeowners or small businesses. Some TARP recipients, like large banks, repaid funds but grew significantly in size, treated TARP as a way to socialize losses from risky behavior.
Washington mutual
Washington Mutual (WaMu) was once the largest savings and loan in the US but suffered a crisis due to risky subprime lending and acquisitions. Key events were acquiring subprime lenders Long Beach Financial in 1999 and Providian in 2005, becoming overly dependent on unstable funding. Earnings deteriorated as defaults rose in 2007-2008 during the financial crisis. The FDIC seized WaMu in 2008, and JPMorgan Chase acquired its assets for $1.9 billion, wiping out stockholders. The crisis showed the dangers of unstable growth through subprime lending, poor acquisitions, and liability-dependent funding models.
financial-crisis-2008
The document summarizes the evolution of the US home mortgage industry from the 1930s to the 2000s and how risky lending practices led to the global financial crisis. It discusses how government interventions created Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to support the mortgage market after the Great Depression. It then explains how private securitization expanded risky subprime lending that was packaged and sold globally. When the subprime mortgage market collapsed in 2007 due to rising defaults, it spread contagion worldwide and caused a liquidity crisis and losses across the global financial system totaling over $586 billion.
International accounting scandals
Accounting scandals typically involve executives misusing funds, overstating revenues or assets, or underreporting expenses or liabilities. This can amount to fraud. Common causes include executives temporarily reducing stock prices to facilitate company takeovers for personal gain or feeling pressured to alter financials for personal benefit. Some of the largest corporate accounting scandals include Enron inflating assets by $11 billion, WorldCom overstating assets by $3.8 billion, and Tyco executives stealing $150 million and inflating income by $500 million.

TIME Magazine names 25 People To Blame For The Financial Crisis
Homeowners of Texas (HOT) compiled the following TIME articles to provide insight into causes of the financial crisis. The authors did an outstanding job, but we contend they put too much blame on Wall Street and mortgage-backed derivatives. Some of the nation’s largest homebuilders were culprits too.
With a lack of accountability and minimal risk of lawsuits, the builders’ strong profit incentives prompted them to cut corners with substandard materials and workmanship, cover-up known defects and code violations, artificially inflate property appraisals, make risky loans, and then resell the loans to unsuspecting investors who did not understand the risks. That’s why we say companies building substandard homes share blame with those making subprime loans.

FindLaw | AIG Bonus Details Letter from NY AG
The Attorney General wrote to the House Committee on Financial Services to provide information about his investigation into executive compensation at AIG. He expressed dismay that AIG distributed over $160 million in retention bonuses to its Financial Products unit after receiving taxpayer funds. While AIG claims it had no choice, the AG argues AIG had leverage as employees agreed to $1 salaries in exchange for bonuses. The AG is seeking the names of bonus recipients to determine if AIG's claims that they were crucial to unwinding the unit are valid, as some recipients are no longer employed there. His office subpoenaed AIG for the names and will enforce compliance, as American taxpayers deserve to know where money is going.
Financial Fraud Paper
This document discusses corporate fraud scandals like Enron and Tyco in the early 2000s and Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme in the late 2000s. It led to public calls for increased regulation to prevent future fraud and protect investors. In response, laws like Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank were passed to reform corporate governance and increase transparency, though some question if human behavior can truly be regulated. All the fraud cases highlighted the failure of checks and balances and oversight to detect deception, and showed that consequences of being uncovered ranged in severity depending on the company's underlying operations.
Global financial crisis
The document discusses the global financial crisis that began in 2007 and its causes and consequences.

1. American International Group (AIG) was bailed out by the US government during the 2008 financial crisis after facing bankruptcy from risky bets on mortgage-backed securities.
2. A new study found that AIG executives were wrong to claim the underlying mortgage assets were "money good" or safe long-term investments, as they actually incurred substantial losses.
3. AIG's risky bets through credit default swaps and securities lending, as well as a liquidity crunch when counterparties demanded payment, left the insurance giant vulnerable when the housing market collapsed.

Inside job 2011...
The document discusses the 2008 financial crisis and the role of AIG. It explains that AIG sold credit default swaps to insure collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), effectively taking on insurance risks without sufficient reserves. This led AIG to require a government bailout when the housing market collapsed and many CDOs failed. The document also discusses the roles of other institutions like Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs in selling toxic assets and profiting until the crisis hit. Rating agencies are criticized for giving high ratings that did not accurately capture risk.
