Crashopedia

Based on my research, the primary instrument of the global financial meltdown was the unbridled and unregulated use of financial derivatives products. (The primary cause was greed.) Governments are now providing trillions of dollars of taxpayers money to try to clean up the mess. And yet derivatives are still unbridled and unregulated.

I have created a Wiki at (used to be at crashopedia.com but is temporarily at wiki.paulallen.net) that aims to be a primary source of information for researchers who want to help get the true story out about the causes of the meltdown, who caused it, who profited from it, and how they got away with it.

Another site that researchers should be aware of us Mark Cuban’s BailoutSleuth.com, which tracks better than any other source I’ve seen where the $700 billion in TARP funds are going.
