Review & Description
Project Northwest weaves an electrifying tale of espionage, sex and murder and is loosely constructed on actual charges filed in Federal District Court in Texas and U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. Charges were filed in response to Washington Mutual's downfall in 2008.
In 2008 deals were struck between all the large financial institutions with public statements hinting they were made to temper the financial meltdown and to encourage the flow of money. At least that was what the public was led to believe, but there was also an epic battle for power being waged between the institutions - not only to make or reserve money but also to limit exposure to debt and rid themselves of competitors.
The playing field was not fair, in fact, according to some investigative journalists, the rules of the playing field changed, were modified or ignored based (plausibly) on the whim of the federal regulator and the bank to which the rules were being applied.
