Kareem Serageldin. Not so much because of why he was convicted and sentenced, but why was he the ONLY criminal banker incarcerated for his role in the 2008 Financial Crisis. Alternatively, I'm curious to learn about which executives and bankers were convicted of any crimes for the same economic disaster. I belive there were a small handful of individuals that were quietly investigated, and just as quietly the reports were sealed, but not much is known. Great channel!

0:42 I am sure he has skills. However, he was lucky. There are many smarter and work harder than him. I recalled many warned the subprime was going to meltdown so he was not the only one who knew. Nobody knew when it would happen. He was the lucky one to bet the market “at the right time” to win big. Just like the “big short” guy, I don’t think he could do it again in his life time!

Why did Burry get all the press and none of the other people in this story….including Paulson? I would like to see biographies on each man who bet the same way Paulson did. Sounds as if their backgrounds and jobs were a bit different but they all came to the same conclusions.

If you have poor credit, why would you make matters worse by taking out a mortgage? You're an adult; you know yourself. Or should. If it's been hard for you in the past to repay debt, why would you take out a mortgage?

@jemiez9383 4 күн бұрын

So it is actually Pellegrini that found the problem with subprime mortgage,not Paulson. All Paulson have done is pouring money for the trade

@NealIRC 3 ай бұрын

Basically, the theme of the 2008 mortgage crisis was don't lend to poor people, (which can vaguely mean don't lend to majority Black and Hispanics).

I love your U tube podcasts but following Paulson’s trades is Waiting For Godot philosophy. Unlike George Soros. “The Man that Broke Bank Of England” Paulson’s track record since sub prime is < stellar; it’s like buying movie ticket just in time for climax. Follow in path of others you have profiled like Newton, Pitts, Feynman and Jobs … find your own path & remember as Einstein said “ all the answers already exist just find them “
