Gonna be interesting to see what the failures blame their failures on next.

 

meh .. back to blaming hedge funds, or those "evil" short sellers, or whatever.

Anything to avoid actually taking responsibility for shitty trades.

 

we'll see who's in power,the lawmakers or the banks and their lobbyists checkbooks

 

Banks will likely benefit from this.

It's your Getco's & friends that will have to adapt or depart.
