William "Bill" Black, professor of economics & law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, probably knows more about bank fraud than anybody else on the planet. The author of The Best Way To Rob A Bank Is To Own One, Bill Black is one the Good Guys in the financial debacle we've witnessed over the last few decades. The heroes in this story are easy to identify because there are so few of them.
But this is also a Tale of Two Bills because Bill Moyers, who interviews Black in a video below, is retiring at the age of 76. He will be sorely missed because he can not be replaced. Integrity is hard to come by in this day and age. He explains his reasons for leaving at the start of the video. Goodbye, Bill, I'm sorry to see you go.
The first video is relatively short (8:00) but sweet—it is Bill Black's blunt testimony before Congress regarding fraud at Lehman Brothers. The second video has Moyers interviewing Black. Enjoy! (if that's the right word for it...)
