Even if you subscribe to the idea that there weren't correct laws in place to ensure that those who should have been criminally responsible, you then have to contend with the the corollary. Which is that instead of prosecuting those responsible, legislation should have been brought forward so that this couldn't happen legally in the future. That didn't even begin to happen- and it's not difficult to see how that has fundamentally poisoned the well in the US.
A repeat of 2008. The idea being that there wasn't sufficient laws in protections in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening again, or that people most directly involved can't just skate.
Problem is though, even if laws were passed, once 2008 fades far enough into the past you'll get someone with a really bright idea, "Hey there's too much regulation stifling our economy. If we just got rid of all those pesky laws the free market would create a utopia!" Because every tom, dick and harry wants their chance to repeat history after the last tom, dick and harry have died.
I’m all for that, and some new civil laws were introduced. Trump is busy trying to undo them ATM, but there we go. The problem criminal laws, however, is that they should be really well defined without being overly restricting. Being greedy can’t be made a crime; it has to be fraud, racketeering, or something obvious.
