FINALLY! The Feds finally look set to punish some of the financial sector wrong doing even if only in a tiny tangential way.

“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter
The 1st Amendment doesn't protect against fraud... specifically, speech designed to induce an action of reliance... like running a business and charging for grading of government bonds.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
edit: It appears Moody's and S&P both control about 40% of the overall market, and Moody's was just as culpable in the subprime crisis (if not more so) as S&P.

No one bought houses with no realistic way to pay. But many did stop paying for their houses when they could have.
Everyone who took a Ninja loan had no realistic way to pay.

I think that's a bit of a wild claim, and I wouldn't say that it caused the crisis at all.
The term refers to a borrower with "no income, no job and no assets" and it was exactly those kinds of **** loans and the people who took them (the entire subprime market) which precipitated the crisis.
