The US government interviewed the heroes of 'The Big Short' - here's what they had to say

The National Archives did a document dump on Friday, releasing transcripts, meeting agendas, and confidentiality agreements from the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

The group was set up in the aftermath of the crisis by Congress to look into the causes of the event, and the documents are a gold mine of information.

There are interviews with Warren Buffett, Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein and AIG Financial Products chief Joe Cassano.

Included among them are interviews with some of the real-life Wall Streeters from Michael Lewis book "The Big Short."

We've taken some of the highlights from their interviews below, so you can see what the likes of Gregg Lippman, Steve Eisman and Ben Hockett.
