Sounds like a firm of City lawyers -- Krugman, Blinder & Co. In fact, it is half the panel line-up on this excellent film of the Princeton Economics Department panel on the subprime crisis.(YouTube embedded below - the whole thing is about 1 hr, with the first 1/2 hour most informative, IMO).
Unfortunately, Blinder is mostly cut. Brunnermeier is fascinating on really detailed stuff---economists will never be short of clever fixes to regulation problems; Hong is really interesting --- I want to post on his point about the psychology and sociology of systems prone to bubbles; Krugman --- well, if you've followed him in the NYT, you won't find any surprises here.
