There’s a deeper regulated system of checks and balances within the financial sector that would hopefully thwart any directed attack. A insecure port on the other hand is point of entry for a WMD from abroad.

As for Foreign-owned commercial banks, we are talking over a trillion dollars in assets. So in the game, it’s nothing new for a foreign entity (largely Europeans) to corner a bank.

You are one of the few Freepers I have ever seen that realize this.

Even American Banks realize this.

The Feds are aware of this. It is a dangerous situation. I have no clue what they would do about it.

It is a shame this is never discussed among the candidates. Hell, this subject never comes up.
