Everyone involved in approving loans for people who were not actually able to pay them -- as defined by generally accepted standards and practices in force at the time -- should be jailed.

I also think a case could be made for jailing those who reduced the standards to the point that the standards could be met by people whom common sense would indicate they couldn't possibly pay (on grounds of failing to fulfill fiduciary obligations to the bank).
