Robbery is what Brazilians do to tourists on the Amazon, at gunpoint - "Hand over your watches and stuff or we shoot". It isn't robbery to accept a loan in good faith, only to find that one is not in a position to repay so opting for bankruptcy instead. <you take a pile of loan don't pay because you are armed to the tooth? This is called robery. > A fraudulent loan would be closer to robbery, but not many people accepted loans with a view to losing their equity in the loans. Meanwhile, there is a slow motion "Flash Crash" in progress so mathematicians can test the responses of people and competing models to see who is "chicken", who blinks, which computer system has better judgment, how the regulators respond, and how the Federal Reserve will pay out and to whom.
