Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan headlines a cast of witnesses to be questioned next week by the panel investigating the roots of the financial crisis.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission kicks off Wednesday a three-day round of hearings focusing on subprime mortgages, their securitization and the role played by government-backed mortgage giant Fannie Mae and bank regulators.

Top current and former officials of Citigroup -- arguably the megabank most harmed by loose lending and the eventual financial meltdown -- will dominate the hearings: eight of the 17 combined witnesses are from Citi, including former Chairman and CEO Chuck Prince and former U.S. Treasury Secretary and member of the firm's board of directors Robert Rubin. Prince was forced out; Rubin left the firm shortly after Citi took $45 billion in a taxpayer-funded bailout.

Here is the release:

Finally the financial crisis panel will be calling to testify those really responsibl­e for the financial fiasco at citi. The mastermind­, risk taker, behind the scene machiaveli­an Robert Rubin, the clueless Charles Prince, the one who executed with reckless abandon Tom Maheras and the risk manager (?) asleep at the switch Bushnell. The only one missing...­.Sandy himself. Go get them.
