Reply to comment by huntingteacher25 in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway. Nelson Aldrich, a powerful senator with close ties to Morgan, led a mission to Europe in 1908 to study the workings of the central banks in England, France and Germany. The Federal Reserve was created a short time later by mankls3

I was a banker over 42 years. Your comments are a bit insulting. Not all bankers are greedy and not all are buying politicians.

The banks we had to bail out were plenty crooked. The banks I worked for preyed on the poor. I think I was honest too, but until I quit I was complicit.

I was lucky in my career. I never worked for a predatory lender.

Then you worked for a bank that did business with a predatory banker. We’re you a banker at a credit union? If so, which major bank was the bank they did transactions through?
