Little guy left holding the bag

An estimated 1,500 individual and corporate retail investors have been left holding the bag on more than $900-million worth of junk credit they should never have been allowed to buy in the first place had Canada's regulators, laws and intermediaries done a proper job. In total, $32-billion of this stuff was exported by Wall Street to Canadian individuals and institutions, but the big banks and brokers recently cut a deal and threw the non-bank investors under the bus.
Purdy Crawford and the Bank of Canada put together a package among the banks, brokers and pension plans then wrapped it in a ribbon by getting bankruptcy protection. The smaller players were denied a seat at the table and the opportunity to organize or sue, even though the deal benefits big players but is ruinous for small ones.
