Which Greedy Banker Said It? Play the Wall St. Quotes Game

Carrie Sloan

At the height of the Wall Street financial scandal that rocked this country into near economic ruin, bankers were ablaze with greed. To mark the approaching two-year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the think tank Demos has compiled some of the more colorful quotes from this group and challenges you to guess who said them.

The statements include gems like:

This is the most dangerous product in existence and there can be nothing more toxic.

And:

Who’s going to put my low fixings in? Heh heh heh.

So many bad quotes and so many bad actors to choose from.

Angelo Mozillo, Countrywide CEO?

A Goldman trading manager?

Maybe even a member of Lehman Brothers executive committee?

Find out the answers at the Demos quiz site here.
