re:

rhetoric on the floor of congress (initially) was that the purpose of
GLBA was to prevent new banking competition (especially competitors with
new technology that would make banking significantly more efficient and
competitive) ... if you already have banking charter, you get to keep
it, if you don't already have a banking charter you can't get one. They
then start adding other favors ... repeal of Glass-Steagall and
"opt-out" personal information sharing. Folklore is that president
initially was going to veto GLBA ... which passes pretty much along
party lines (54-44), then they go back and bring the other party on
board and it passes with veto proof 90-8 and the president signs it. It
was supposedly explained to him that wallstreet had lobbied the majority
party in congress to the tune of $125M, but had also lobbied his party
in congress to the tune of $115M (and congress "owed" it to wallstreet).

President of AMEX is in competition to be next CEO and wins. The looser
takes their protege and leaves, going to Baltimore and takes over what
is described as a loan sharking business, They then make several other
acquisitions, eventually acquiring CITIBANK in violation of
Glass-Steagall, Greenspan gives them an exemption while they lobby
congress for repeal of Glass-Steagall (enabling "too big to fail"). They
enlist several others ... including Gramm, #2 on times list responsible
for the economic mess
http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1877351_1877350_1877330,00.html

and secretary of treasury (and former chairman of Goldman Sachs). Once
GLBA is on its way to final vote, the secretary of treasury resigns and
joins Citigroup as what was described at the time as co-CEO.  The
protege leaves and becomes chairman of JPMorgan/Chase

Gramm and his wife also responsible for CFTC modernization act
preventing regulation of over the counter derivatives ... originally
described as gift to ENRON

The head of CFTC proposes regulating derivatives and is quickly replaced
with Gramm's wife while he gets provision added that prevents the
regulation. She then resigns and joins ENRON board and on the financial
audit committee. ... some past posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submisc.html#enron

Securitized mortgages had been used during the S&L crisis to obfuscate
fraudulent mortgages (posterchild were office bldgs in Dallas/Ft.Worth
area that turned out to be empty lots). In the late 90s, I was asked to
look at improving the integrity of supporting documents as
countermeasures. Then loan originators were securitizing loans&mortgages
and paying for triple-A ratings (when both the sellers and the rating
agencies knew they weren't worth triple-A, from Oct2008 congressional
testimony). Triple-A rating trumps supporting documentation and they can
start doing no-documentation liar loans. Being able to pay for triple-A
eliminated any reason for loan originators to care about borrowers'
qualifications or loan quality, they could sell off (all loans as fast
as they could be made) to customers restricted to dealing in "safe"
investments (like large pension funds, claim is it accounts for 30% loss
in funds and trillions shortfall for pensions), largely enabling being
able to do over $27T 2001-2008
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&refer=home&sid=a0jln3.CSS6c

If that wasn't enough, they also start packaging securitized
loans/mortgages designed to fail, pay for triple-A, sell to their victim
customers, and then take out (over the counter derivative) CDS gambling
bets they would fail (creating enormous demand for dodgy loans &
mortgages). Largest holder of CDS gambling bets was AIG and was
negotiating to pay off at 50-60cents on the dollar, when the secretary
of treasury (also a former chairman of Goldman Sachs) steps in and
forces them to sign a document that they can't sue those making the
gambling bets and to take TARP funds to payoff at 100cents on the
dollar. The largest recipient of TARP funds was AIG and the largest
recipient of face-value payoffs was TBTF formerly headed by
sec-of-treasury.

In the wake of ENRON, congress passes Sarbanes-Oxley claiming that it
would prevent future ENRONs and guarantee that executives and auditors
responsible for fraudulent financial filings, do jail time. however it
requires SEC to do something. Possibly because even GAO doesn't believe
SEC is doing anything, it starts doing reports of fraudulent financial
filings, even showing uptic after Sarbanes-Oxley goes into effect (and
nobody doing jailtime). Less well known, SOX also has provision for SEC
to do something about rating agencies (played the pivotal role in the
economic mess). #4 on times list of those responsible for economic mess

and of course, in the congressional Madoff hearings, they had the

something about Madoff

other trivia, AMEX was in competition with KKR for private equity LBO of
RJR. KKR won, but when they ran into trouble, they hired president of
AMEX away to turn it around
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarians_at_the_Gate:_The_Fall_of_RJR_Nabisco
Then the IBM board hires former president of AMEX to resurrect the
company and reverse the breakup, using some of the same techniques used
at RJR:
http://www.ibmemployee.com/RetirementHeist.shtml

The former president of AMEX leaves IBM and becomes head of another
large private equity company ... which among other things does
take-over of company that will employee Snowden.

private-equity posts
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submisc.html#private.equity

In the early 90s (about the time IBM is going into the red), AMEX does
spin-off of much of its dataprocessing (mostly mainframes) in what was
the largest IPO up until that time, as First Data. 15yrs later KKR does
a private-equity take-over of First Data in what was described as the
largest LBO up until that time (or 2nd largest, depending on how you
date the take-over). Recently KKR does (re-)IPO of First Data.

Private-equity take-overs have been described similar to house flipping,
except the loan to buy the company goes on the company's books and goes
with the company when it is sold (it is even possible to sell a company
for less than they paid and still walk away with boat loads of money).
Also, the companies are under intense pressure to service the debt load
and over half of "corporate defaults have been companies either owned at
one time or still owned by private equity firms"
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/05/business/economy/05simmons.html?_r=0

in the LBO, First Data went from $2B debt load to more than $22B debt
load.
http://digitaltransactions.net/news/story/Strategies_-First-Data-After-the-LBO

First Data Prices Its IPO At $16 Per Share, Raising $2.56 Billion
http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/14/first-data-prices-its-ipo-at-16-per-share-raising-2-56-billion/

The company has slowly expanding revenues, and steep debt. At current
tip, the company has an unadjusted total load of $21.16 billion. First
Data will be using the $2.56 billion proceeds from the initial public
offering to pay down some of its long-term debt.
