Steve Eisman, the maverick investor whose exploits in the subprime housing market were at the center of “The Big Short”, says bankers should stop griping about regulation.

Eisman made a name (and fortune) for himself by accurately predicting the housing crash, and was played by Steve Carell in the film of Michael Lewis’s 2010 book.

Speaking at a Miami conference of the securitization industry – whose excesses were blamed for much of the crash – he said bankers now should not be whining about tougher new rules.
