Quote for the Evening

Always carry a large flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite,
and furthermore always carry a small snake.

How to Rob a Bank (or) How Banks Rob Us

What's the best way to rob a bank?
1. Embezzle millions
2. Raise interest rates so your customers will default on your loans.
3. Write off millions to match what was embezzled.

How many banks wrote off how many billions? Did that money just vanish into thin air, or did it ever exist? Follow the money. This is the biggest scandal of all time, and nobody sees it. Houdini couldn't have done any better.
