The bank has enough resources to do what it needs to do. I am concerned that it is looking at vulture funds through a very narrow prism and from the point of view of the need to protect banks and financial institutions. I am worried that farmers, small businesses, homeowners or people who have bought a second home are being sacrificed as a result. The governor said that, were there to be a banking collapse, there would be less of an impact for vulture funds than for regulated entities.
