I am considering bringing Politziner to all my interviews, because having him there allows me to drink and text the friends I still have after getting married...
...Last March, when Kenneth LaRoe set out to start a bank in Eustis - the next town over from Tavares - the speed bumps were already starting to pop up. Building a bank was old hat to LaRoe. The one he founded in 1999, he sold to a larger company in 2006, quadrupling investors' money. This time around, he lined up $24 million in commitments in three months. Then came IndyMac.
