INTRODUCTION The United States has just experienced one of the worst financial crises in all its history. Several investment banks failed or had to be bailed out by the federal government. They included such behemoths as Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers.1 Some 140 commercial banks failed in 2009 as a result of the crisis,2 and several large commercial banks had to be rescued or bailed out as well, including Citigroup, Bank of America and Wachovia Corp.3 Several giant residential mortgage lenders failed, including Washington Mutual, Countrywide Financial, and IndyMac. The American International Group, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac failed, as did General Motors and Chrysler. The economy suffered as well, with unemployment levels reaching nearly ten percent nationwide and even higher in some states.4 Total job losses exceeded 7.2 million.5 The problem spread worldwide. In the United Kingdom, financial services crippled by the crisis included the Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds TSB, and Northern Rock.
