...essence of my scheme was that I represented to clients and prospective clients who wished to open investment advisory and individual trading accounts with me that I would invest their money in shares of common stock, options and other securities of large well-known corporations, and upon request, would return to them their profits and principal. Those representations were false because for many years up and until I was arrested on December 11, 2008, I never invested those funds in the securities, as I had promised. Instead, those funds were deposited in a bank account at Chase Manhattan Bank. When...

Then the bubble burst, banks found that their balance sheets were full of bad loans, and Japan entered a lost decade of stagnant economic growth. Nearly 20 years after its peak in December 1989, when the Nikkei index nearly...
Bankers get that. Since last summer, at least 30 groups have filed to start new banks, according to SNL Financial. From Richmond, Va., to Tulsa, Okla., to Pacific Palisades, Calif., community bankers are hitting the pavement, raising funds a few hundred thousand dollars at a time from stock-market-wary investors. It's not an easy sell, and regulators, spooked by the wave of failures, are making it tougher than ever to win approval. For entrepreneurs who can run that gauntlet, though, the stars are aligned for small independent banks in a way they probably never will be again...
