Source seems a bit fishy.
But I don't doubt the real nature of the crisis was overblown so the banks could get their money faster. Seems like a pretty normal thing to do.
Also don't forget, before the "credit crisis" credit was soooooooooooo easy that even returning to normal would seem like a crisis. Many of these firms couldn't have operated on normal credit lines so while it may have been a crisis for them, it may not have been so bad by normal measures.
