Gloating with Wall Street's goodfellas

By Julian Delasantellis

Let's say that living on your block is a friendly, easygoing, always ready to lend a hand to a guy in trouble fellow we'll call Mr Tarp. In September of last year, another neighbor, we'll call him Mr Bank, came to him with a tale of woe.

Ah, it had been hard times for Mr Bank. Speculating in wild, hare-brained financial schemes had left him destitute and on the brink of eviction and ruination. A little assistance, a few bucks, would help a lot.
