Richard Syron (far left) and Daniel Mudd (second from left) (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) -- As CEOs of the government's mortgage giants, Syron and Mudd were sued and became the highest-profile individuals to be charged in the 2008 financial crisis. They were accused of understating the level of high-risk subprime mortgages just before the housing bubble burst. Both were fired in 2008.
