In the 2nd or 3rd week of the 2008 crash starting, they put on CNN this guy who predicted the entire crash years ago and wrote a book about it. And also 3-5 finance experts. All of them were laughing in the guy's face as the guy explained what was happening, why it was happening and what exactly was going to happen very soon. They were discrediting, belittling him and assuring the public how everything was totally okay. All of them were actual prominent personas in finance, with education, experience, credentials and whatnot.
Things happened exactly as the guy wrote in his book and explained on CNN. Everything came crashing down.
What's unforgettable is how all the actual experts with credentials were reassuring the public that everthing was ok SO hard to the point of laughing in the guy's face...
