The whole sub-prime mess began back in President Clinton's time when he leaned on US banks to give the benefit of the doubt to people who wanted homes but could not get mortages because they were not terribly good credit risks. The banks found a way - they called it securitisation.
It wasn't that long ago our government was leaning on our banks to extend loans to high credit risk folk. Imagine - we would have had our own homegrown "sub-prime" crisis too.
I bet gov is happy the banks resisted their advances now. In fact, the way they're going on about us not being vulnerable, you'd almost think they were trying to take the credit

Crisis hits Japan, the Origami Bank....has folded
The Sumo Bank has gone belly up and
Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.
Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will
likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended
after they nose-dived.
While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is
reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.
Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that
there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that
staff may get a raw deal.
Stuff it, it's Friday and the sun is shinning!!

Business isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

Lovely one, Alan. The situation certainly needs some humour
For anyone in the mood to get serious for a moment, here is a great read - Surviving the hurricane. Too late this time around, but at least there is serious discussion about how to prevent/limit the effects in the future.
Leaning into the wind - seems to make sense to me.
