FROM THE OFFICE OF SATAN
Prince of Lies and proud of it
Dear Hank:
You have outdone yourself once again, my loyal servant, with these fraudulent,
deliciously deceptive proposals to reform the utterly corrupt financial system
you exploited so profitably as head of Goldman Sachs.
My plans for the destruction of the United States of America have been going
along rather swimmingly until we rushed things a bit with Bear Stearns--ah,
the wondrous power of pure, unmitigated greed! It remains my favorite
tool--and calls for reform were suddenly everywhere.
The rules which would have undone us were simple indeed, as you know all too
well:
1. complete transparency of risk and leverage in all financial documents and
financial instruments
2. the marking to market of all financial instruments and assets at the close
of the trading day, as is currently done with commodities futures and stock
options
3. the banning of "off balance sheet" accounting
4. the banning of offshore accounts and holding companies
5. the uniform enforcement of these regulations across all financial classes,
assets, firms, brokers and banks
As you know, Hank, transparency, mark-to-market and strictly enforced
regulations of all banks, broker-dealers and financial institutions would deal
a death blow to my plans to destroy the U.S. via destruction of its financial
system. Having sold your soul to me for the glory and riches you received at
Goldman Sachs, you had to comply with my orders to destroy any such useful
regulations with cunning "fixes" of your own.
