@Happy, Well that falls under TBTLF (too big to let fail), however even with that, many big financial institutions died, and others were gutted, and stockholders and investors were decimated, so even with the government protection a lot of these financial institutions suffered because of their bad practices, so its not like they got off without any problems.
So they still had a duty to their shareholders and investors to undertake better practices, and they failed to follow through.
