ISBN: 9780070502307.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tradition of All the presidents men , this is a journalistic thriller about the systematic looting of the nations savings and loans. Far from being precipitated by economic problems, the S\u0026amp;L crisis was a consequence of white-collar criminals, politicians, regulators, the courts, the Justice Department, accountants and lobbyists. Major revelations concern the role of organized crime, the link between the HUD scandal and the S\u0026amp;L crisis, and the use of S\u0026amp;Ls for money-laundering. The result of a three-year investigation, the book is less a document than an expose, identifying the players who have left taxpayers with a cleanup bill of $300 billion or more.
