Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson describes the moment he knew Lehman Brothers’ fall meant the global financial system was at risk. He also relives his conversations with congress to get emergency powers for TARP and defends the bank bailouts.
Watch the premiere of the CNBC Original “Crisis On Wall Street: The Week That Shook The World” Wednesday, Sept.12 at 10pm ET/PT.
Ten years after the fall of Lehman Brothers, CNBC has produced the definitive televised account of the historic bankruptcy and cascade of events over a September weekend in 2008 that led to the worst financial crisis in generations. In this prime time original documentary, Andrew Ross Sorkin, CNBC anchor and author of the groundbreaking best-seller "Too Big to Fail," reports on how the nation and the world came as close as ever to a full economic collapse.
The story is told through gripping interviews with those at the highest reaches of the U.S. government as well as the CEOs of the nation’s largest banks who gathered to try to save Lehman Brothers from failure. Wall Street chiefs Jamie Dimon, John Thain, and others describe dramatic, around-the-clock negotiations. Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson tells of the desperate moment when he realized that a Lehman bankruptcy could bring down the world’s financial system.
Could a financial crisis of this magnitude happen again? Sorkin puts that question time and again to the people gathered for this CNBC documentary, who shouldered the fate of the world’s finances and who recall the nightmare scenario they faced down ten years ago.
"It would be breadlines across the country for a generation,” former president of the N.Y. Federal Reserve Tim Geithner told Sorkin. “We did feel that we were making choices and faced with outcomes that would be devastating to the lives of hundreds of millions of people."

There was 0 legal talk about a Lehman rescue being illegal, nor was there any talk of it being a huge disaster. In fact, in the Fed meeting on on Sept. 16, 2008, the day after Lehman's failure, there was talk about how the Fed had done a good job of holding the line against moral hazard. The idea that Paulson or Bernanke or Geithner knew about the consequences of Lehman's failure but simply had no authority to act only came up a couple of weeks later. All of this is documented in the FCIC report.

@benpeterson1238 Год назад

He was the one who caused the crisis. He was CEO of Goldman Sachs from 1998-2006. During that time they created the CDO's which made terrible Mortgages that were for sure not going to be paid, and packaged them to make them AAA investments. Those AAA investment packages were sold to retirement funds around the nation as secure investments, when in reality they were a package of the riskiest loans you could possibly find. He then used AIG to purchase insurance on those extremely risky loans which AIG did because they were rated AAA. When all of those loans went bust AIG was forced to pay the insurance claim to Goldman Sachs, which they could not afford, and they had to file for bankruptcy. By the time they filed for Bankruptcy it was 2 years later and now Hank worked as the Secretary of Treasury where he forced the government to buy out AIG and then forced AIG to pay Goldman Sachs the insurance money even though it was found out that Goldman Sachs knew they investments were more than risky and Goldman Sachs was corrupt and looking for the easiest pay day of their lives, that they created. All of this corruption happened under one single man. Hank Paulson. The reason he stayed was to make sure his plan went his way and all of his friends that he made over his entire professional career would not lose their jobs, and they would get paid billions... Just like he did. I'd love to hear what is mean about what I said. I am speaking facts that he is extremely corrupt and was the mastermind behind the 2008 financial crisis. He will never admit that, rather he will say he and everyone involved were too stupid too realize that AIG would never be able to pay back billions in insurance on faulty loans.

@@benpeterson1238You’re making it sound like everyone except Hank was a total idiot. Goldman doesn’t give mortgages so a different bank (or many banks) made these bad loans. All Goldman did was buy them, package them and sell the packages. Goldman didnt rate them AAA, didn’t force anyone to buy them, didn’t lie about what was in them. Heck, they didn’t even set the price… the market did. A basic role of a market maker. Nor did Goldman put a gun to AIG’s head and force it to write the credit default swaps through their nose. AIG had a CEO didn’t they? And most importantly, Goldman didn’t force anyone to use 40x leverage, which is what caused the biggest problem. Hank didn’t leverage Goldman 40x when he ran it, nor did Blankfine in 2008. So yeah they benefitted but it’s not like Hank not being CEO of Goldman would have prevented the crisis.

To understand market structures. If banks were a competitive market, then intervention isn’t necessary because markets will stabilize. The fact that banks are an oligopoly, the sector is not competitive. Thus the application of “competitive market” and “no regulation/intervention” fails. If you studied above intro to macroeconomics, you would learn that different types of markets require different policies. For the present day, the US either need to to break up the banks or risk bailing them out again on the next crisis. No getting around the moral hazard.

In 2022, the 2008 financial crisis not only looks smaller (treasury spent $439B only, compared to trillions in 2020-22), but I am by now not sure anymore that Paulson did the right thing. I fully understand that it is easy to criticize the gov after 14 years for that but I believe, today, that the party would have not ended if a few big banks would have failed, including Fannie. We see such a modern experiment currently in China where the Chinese gov is reluctant regarding Evergrande and other real estate banks. The Chinese gov supports Evergrande but not financially, and not in the way the Bush and Obama administration did it. The most staggering consequence of the financial crisis in 2008 is that the Obama administration ballooned our debts, so was it worth it? It went from ~60 % when Obama took office, to over 100 % of the GDP when he left office, and the US GDP grew at the same time too. So, was this insane amount of trillions of USD worth it? Because the next president, Trump, decided to do the same and blew the US debt even further. Then came COVID, and now it's like nobody cares anymore. Yet, the annual expenses are insane -- we are talking about trillions and trillions of USD for all kinds of bureaucratic policies and national emergency programs. What I am trying to say is: There are times of crisis. But maybe Paulson made a mistake when he allowed making it common to over debt our country in such an extreme way, bipartisan, instead of letting a few banks die -- because a national debt of > 120 % is not a problem of a single president, or the treasure department, or CNBC, but of the generations that follow us, our children.

I think that Paulson did do the right thing but Bernanke is the one who gets too much credit. Why was Paulson the one who walked out but Bernanke got a Nobel Peace Prize? And for what? For raising rates so millions of homeowners would default on ARM loans as well as misleading the American people that everything was ok at every point? Paulson never misled America. He was always an honest man and I’m not a republican but I do have to say he was genuine. Bernanke lied at every point. I do also understand that bailing out big banks was needed to save the financial system because of cash flow and liquidity. However, we should have stopped there. Japan now exclusively buys its own debt. The central bank is selling their assets at a loss. Like, who’s paying this back? Why did we need to institute a bond buying program and pump so much cash into the economy? And why is no central banker going to jail over their conflicts of interest? This is madness in a first world country.

U need to keep reporting on this financial crisis that's coming. I want to know where is all the debt going? There toxic debt that keeps been dumbed somewhere else... I want to know what's backing all the dollars out there if there's not enough Gold? Will the global debt come crushing down on us all?

I've just watched Sorkin's conversation with Geithner, where he asked the same question he does here (19:35), and what immediately struck me was how identical the beginning as well as the contents of Paulson's answer were to Geithner's, and I thought: of course, these guys, since 2008, have gotten all their answers straight to potentially embarassing questions, just to create, or at least strengthen, the story/myth that what happened and why in the rescue mission of late 2008 could and should not have been any different, including the justifications at the time - and now - for acting as they did. That is not to say they did NOT act in a relatively responsible and necessary manner, but it makes you think.

Did Lehman suggest the state divide.

@nhanha7433 3 года назад

If yet why the state divide because we did have the best fire extinguishers to stop the financial ruin

You're naive... I would've loved to see Wall Street prosecuted, but it was more important to inject the market with capital to save your ass down the line. You have sacrifice short term gains for long term goals my friend.

His first conversations going into the Secretary of Treasury post were about the excesses he saw in the financial sector. He said they had no authority to save investment banks. What the government does have is a self interest in preserving the system. They are less interested in the devaluation of true work (work not done by banks and investors) than they are in the preservation of the financial institutions the government relies on to grow tax revenues.

@FreeTraderFREEMAN 6 лет назад

I agree, but since he said these liquidity injections were very unpopular, they weren't in a position to add stipulations that would basically financially "hurt" (and I use this word liberally here) the very same people they were negotiating with.

@Tom-fw2jr 3 года назад

I liked the suggestion someone made while this " robbery" was happening. Why not pay off the houses of anyone 50 and over, give them money to buy an American made car and retire. It covered all the bad. But the banks wouldn't get their bailout money.

this guys was the most reckless guy from Wall Street and he bailed his former colleagues from Treasury position. No conflict of interest at all. I would say that overall that this crisis is the biggest bank robbery of all time and this guy was the one who cracked the safe open. This guy knew that the system was not sustainable and he took the job in the Treasury to be able to break the safe. Hmmm....

What is the benefit of allowing these banks to have so much unsecured liabilities? Just so they can make money? Here we are in 2021 and nothings changed. Gamestop was shorted 140% even though he said he was already looking into stopping 'shorting even before the 2008 crisis 😅😅🤣😂 He chose to stabilize the market...temporarily instead of persecuting those who created the situation. Now, we will have similar problems in the future because no politicians and normal people understand the market. We continue to be TRICKED AND MANIPULATED.
