Goldman left foreign investors holding the subprime bag | McClatchy

A tale of deception, greed, fraud, dysfunction and stupidity. Here is an excerpt, which is an interesting statistic:

"Underscoring the role of tax havens as a Wall Street marketing tool, a Treasury Department report found that as of June 30, 2008, $164 billion in U.S. mortgage-backed securities were held in the Cayman Islands and $22 billion more were held in Luxembourg, another tax-friendly zone."
