Hit Squad Will Harden

In 2008, a bunch of shady bankers were successful in the greatest robbery in the history of mankind. In the name of 'Homes for Everyone," they offered mortgages to anyone. In a typical arrangement, the introductory interest rate was 3%, but it would increase to 9% after eighteen months. The derivative was created which was a financial instrument that allowed betting on anything. These so-called Ninja Mortgages were sold to unqualified people. Once the higher interest rates kicked in, the foreclosures began. The seven large banks selling Ninja mortgages, began betting against them through the back door with derivatives. People, who bought the mortgages out the front door were financially ruined, while those who bet against them with derivatives profited tremendously. Hit Squad is a fictional story of one man's attempt to fight back against the corrupt elite bankers by organizing a Hit Squad to take out the major players that caused the 2008 Crash. The only fictional part of Hit Squad is the hit squad. The corruption is real to this day.
