One comment so far

Well, at least not too much DIF damage.

Putting the largest 19 financial institutions in America on the ‘do not touch list’ makes a big difference but there are a number of smaller, yet big enough to hurt the DIF institutions our there who are being left alone despite having received ‘fix it’ letters from the FDIC.

WHY?
