American Casino explains the most complex aspects of the financial collapse in terms that everyone can understand. The movie is an informal tutorial on Wall Street’s “innovations”, including a brief rundown on collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) and credit default swaps (CDSs).

Fast paced? I saw a clip on democracy now and it seemed to be a slow borefest. I think the cockburns are so mainstream.

Wells Fargo huh. Whom owns a large swath of stock in said bank. “Stick with the old American banks”. Any one ever heard of that financial genius from Omaha? Then again, most notorious bank robbers had above average intelligence. Problem is, this bank robber stood on the clerk side of the counter! Regards.
