Definitely a must-read. One nit though...

But the banks say they lost money.

The fact that a bank lost money isn’t an indication that they were a victim as opposed to being a perpetrator. A classic problem with control fraud is that the parasites destroy the host — in this case, the host being the bank and the parasites being the bank employees. If you were the victim of a control fraud by the people who worked in your own bank but meanwhile, you were collecting huge bonuses, you overlooked the control fraud within your own institution.
Better to stick with "perpetrator" meme by using the verb, "you perpetrated the control fraud". Bill Black has detailed exactly how, up and down the entire internal, rating agency, and regulatory food chain too...
