They sold their securities souls to the street, but the same souls previously had been sold to the devil. Also, their original sale of souls to the devil was a primary obligation. It wouldn't have been combined with an SDS derivative obligation (the soul default swap) on an SSO that hadn't been created yet.

No wonder the CEOs appear before Congress with a "Yeah, whatever" attitude.

What may make it harder to grasp is that maybe people keep trying to see a "value" produced at the end of all "Dispursement Allocation Swaps", "Benefit Alteration Capsules" and "Incentive Asset Relocations" (as Lloyd Dangle calls them). If you look at it as gambling with other people's money, the other aspects become a bit more understandable.
