These were mortgages given to people with poor credit who could not afford to pay them back. In 2008, the Lehman Brothers investment bank went bankrupt, and in 2011, Merrill Lynch was re-established and promoted to rebuild your assets. #3 The California Public Employees' Retirement System, CalPERS, is the most corrupt and inefficient public pension fund in the United States. It has a reputation for losing more money than all the others combined. #4 The question that arises is this: if these experts are so smart, why is the world in such a financial crisis.
