The story

In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis is affecting investment banks holding massive real estate assets. In the midst of an election year, Paulson is wary of funding more ‘bailouts’, after he guaranteed the sale of Bear Stearns at a fraction of its value to JPMorgan Chase. He refuses to step in after shares of investment bank, Lehman Brothers, lose significant value.
