......I wonder where his opinion, regulators, and attentions were over the past few years.........are not any of those HE supervises involved directly and indirectly with "troubled" SRF loans or did all of them travel to and now through, like in sh-uff, the GSE's. Let him regulate those repurchases......so they can be charged to P & L of his "wards" of examination. Gerald Cassidy(who I never heard of and only use as a source from somewhere else...) of RBC Capital expects the number of banks to go down from 150 to 300 in the next few years. According to Gary Holloway who was brought back from the old, efficient RTC days there were 76 "troubled banks at the end of "07...". These superior/supervisory folks were where in the S & L failure days? Now the crap was run through the other side of banking, called investment, and the taxpayer is on the hock/hook to pay for SternBears pre-planned debacle? With more fraud passed to the foreign investors who can collect nothing without more airplanes, bombs and tanks.....This was orgainized, permitted theft for and from the "higher ups" with guys like Dugan, the silly one at FDIC and probably the thrift and credit union superior-visors taught to look another way while the pieces are created to fall and gathered up again by wreckers for profit---pass the loss, retreive the profitable parts.........in China and other parts of the world is not "criminal public betrayal by malfeasance" a capital offense?.......bring back the Louie solution lacking heckling from the audience or vegetable/offal throwing....afterall these "public servants" just did as they were told..........the *****s control the nunnery..........and their virtues are only implied without warranty and are to be accepted minus any verification...........best to all.........rs
