The geeky fanboy who had a big role in destroying the US economy? The one so
detached from reality that all he could mutter afterwards was ""Those of us
who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect
shareholder's equity - myself especially - are in a state of shocked
disbelief" and (referring to his free-market ideology) "I have found a flaw.
I don't know how significant or permanent it is. But I have been very
distressed by that fact."
