    Comment:
    recall that President Clinton had signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services
    Modernization Act in 1999, repealing the Glass-Steagall Act which had separated depositgathering
    (and FDIC insured) institutions from investment banks since the Depression. In
    the name of “leveling the playing field,” commercial banks like Citigroup thus were freed
    to wheel and deal, and wheel and deal they did, “dancing until the music stopped.” In turn,
    that encouraged their more creative and highly-motivated investment bank competitors to
    deal in ever-more exotic instruments and apply ever-more leverage to stay ahead
