The same could be said for banks hiring compulsive gamblers for
management--except that some government official (probably a classmate)
bought into the "too big to fail" argument.
It used to be that a banker was pillar of the community and probably the
most strait-laced conservative fellow you'd ever have the pleasure of
knowing.
Now, they vacation in Gstaad and St. Croix (flown there on private jets)
and live in ultra-secure digs, have bodyguards and drivers. To them,
Henry F. Potter was a wimp. Sounds like the way a mob boss would
operate. Probably not much difference.
