If this topic interests you, I recommend you read the book by Gudrun Johnson called "Bringing Down the Banking System: Lessons from Iceland". It is a translation and summary of the Report of the Investigation Commission of Althing (the Icelandic Parliament). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Report_of_the_Investigation_Commission_of_Althing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Report_of_the_Investigatio... The Report of Althing is, in my opinion, the most comprehensive since the Amulree Report of Newfoundland in 1933, and one of the very few reports to investigate causes of the crisis. As a matter of interest, I seem to recall that 83 million euros was given to Icelandic bankers for their part in the crisis. The proceeds unaccounted for numbered in the billions. Much of what the banks did was modelled on Enron-style deception, a practice which remains quite commonplace now in the financial marketplace.
