It's an extreme analogyBut it's exactly the same.
You can't expect people to obey laws that you may or may not make up in the future, they can only be judged on the basis of the laws and regulations that were in place at the time. In the case of the financial sector, that was practically none, but you can't blame them for taking advantage of that. There needs to be more legislation now to prevent things like this happening again, but as I said, you can't apply it retroactively.
