Morgan made his specialty the refinancing, reorganization, and rationalization of America’s badly overextended and overcapitalized railroads; his “clients” included some of the largest, such as the Erie, the New York Central, and the Pennsylvania.

Yankees would just take out their dollars and throw to the singers.

In the middle was John Paulson. At the top was Steve Eisman.
