Was this movie based on any real company during the financial crisis? Did any bank really see it last minute and dump all their shit? i know people were buying CDS, but i dont recall hearing about anyone triggering the MBS meltdown by unwinding their position in 1 day.

thanks, i thought it was based on Lehman Brothers but there were some things in the movie that didnt match up, for one being the fact the company is implied to survive in the movie by being "first". Since Lehman didnt survive and was a major bag holder, it didnt match up.

However Fuld/Tuld seems pretty straightforward lol.
