Why did companies get bailouts during the 2008 global financial crash?

Didn’t some of these companies cause the crash? Or at least help it. Feels kind of unfair that they get off scot-free.

What would have happened if the government didn’t bail them out? Would we ever recover?

How quickly we forgot the revolving door between Citibank and president Obama. An email from a citi.com address with a list of desired cabinet picks seems a massive conflict of interest. Obama softballing the banks during his first term will always draw question marks.
