Ethics violation was the main reason for major companies. To stimulate the business investment and consumer spending, interest rates were lowered down by Federal Reserve. Leverage requirement was also lowered down by the SEC so that bank can borrow more than in reserve. AAA rating MBS products are sold to investors.

Federal government intervened to prevent the crises with an amount of $700 billion bailout. TARP is designed to prevent the future failures.
