“Well, that's an interesting issue. You know, obviously, Secretary Geithner had great problems complying with his certification 4 years in a row. He swore that he would pay the tax that was shown on the form, and he certified, if they would just pay him that money, he would pay it. Then he didn't pay it. In answer to the question, I guess an analogy comes to mind, which is the FBI. For example, there was a movie about a gentleman who was so good at forging and acting as someone else, and he could create a forged document out of anything. Well, the FBI ended up hiring him because he was so good at forging checks and making fraudulent checks. The FBI hired him because he knew more about ways to cheat other people and to cheat the government. They felt like he could be an immense help, and apparently he was. As I understand, he has helped prepare more secure documents and more secure institutions because he was so good at cheating those very institutions and the government.”
