What amazed me is when all of the house of cards started to fall, sometimes in my part of the country you see chipmunks tearing across the concrete, and they go so fast. The minute they got in trouble, what did they do, they came under the umbrella of the Bank Holding Company Act so they could not be a speculator any more, now they are a legitimate bank; right? Even though they were trafficking in all of those securities, they were just like those little chipmunks. They hid themselves right under the Bank Holding Company Act. I don't agree with what was done, but they took good care of themselves.
