    the problem becomes that the person is usually only trying to save this money. if all banks were based on investment with minimal returns there would be demand for depository institutions. right now that demand exists but starting up a depository institution would be a cross between illegal and idiotic in america today…

    No. Wish I did.

    My guess is that most of it ended up making the AIG credit default swaps good and keeping Citibank propped up (via debt that they keep turning into equity at inflated prices).

    Thanks Sal. So Sal, do you know where the 700 Billion dollars went? I think Professor Elizabeth Warren wants to know. It seems to have disappeared.

    Fractional Reserve Banking is simple fraud in a bailor-bailee relationship, but designated legal under the current system. For example, if the company Public Storage secretly rents out your furniture hoping 10% of the time you use it is just fraud, but completely legal for banks.
