  3. Major Culprits! • Lenders - Lent funds to people with poor credit and a high risk of default.  • Homebuyers-Playing an extremely risky game by buying houses they could barely afford. • Investment Banks- A lot of the demand for these mortgages came from the creation of assets that pooled mortgages together into a security, such as a collateralized debt obligation (CDO).

  4. Rating Agencies – They should have given CDOs poor rating instead of AAA • Investor- Investors were the ones willing to purchase these CDOs at ridiculously low premiums over Treasury bonds.

  5. Hedge Funds- a fund could purchase a lot more CDOs and bonds than it could with existing capital alone, pushing subprime interest rates lower and further fueling the problem.  • Politicians-They lessened restrictions on banks that underwrote the mortgages,
