The markets cut off the money spigot for the worst offenders because capital providers simply won't take those kinds of risks for now.

But give them a few years to get their feet back under them and Wall Street will cook up some super-duper new crazy ways to make huge fees getting people to do stupid things with their money.

I've only been in the markets for a decade and a bit and I've seen them blow it up twice. Not a bunch to trust with the car keys.

I am hoping that the catastrophic losses suffered by investors end up providing discipline for the markets,

That has never happened, and never will. The "discipline" lasts for a few years after the losses, but the animal spirits tske over as soon as the memory fades slightly away.
