Right, so where are the “gains”? Where is the greed? It doesn’t seem like there is an unreasonable upside here, just a misunderstanding/mistake in handling the assets.
Your ideas on this topic are so bizarre. Are you arguing here that the bank owners and employees were not paid? That they didn't pursue a strategy they believed would give them higher returns, and failed?
I'm arguing nothing, and am trying to better understand why people are continually claiming it was their "greed" that caused this failure, and not their incompetence.
They didn't seemingly pursue a strategy that would have resulted in their pay increasing meaningfully, in fact it seems like they pursued a strategy they believed was safe and cautious. It wasn't, but they did seem to think so.
But I don't have all of the facts and this is not my wheelhouse, so I'm asking questions for clarity. "I don't know" is a reasonable answer, but not one I find around here much.
