...suffer, not the depositors. Example: whether to "close out" a frozen loan at a loss or to attempt to quicken it back to life is a banker's daily problem. On Cuban Sugar, the bank decided wrongly. But again, no depositor suffered, for the very reason that the risk was transferred from the bank to security affiliate.
