Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

So ISTM that complaining about house prices would have been doing something that they were specifically told not to do, and therefore implying that they thought that instruction wrong.
Whilst it might have been appropriate to say this in private, saying it in public would have been dangerous to them keeping their job.

However, he ignored the banks when they stopped carrying out due dilligence. That is one of the deadly sins of banking. He wasn't the only one, but he was still part of the problem.
Whatever his motivation was then, it makes people question what his motivation is now.Comment
