Given the current financial market I feel I could run a financial institution very well. I'm thinking of offering investment opportunities. I would then spend my time playing with huge sums on a commodities roulette wheel, creaming off huge amounts sums of cash and living a champagne lifestyle in Mayfair for a few years, and then go bust and have the taxpayer bail out my institution while I relax on a yacht in Monaco and watch the economic fallout from a safe distance. Could this work? Anyone willing to place their capital in my hands?

As you correctly indicated, this is currently standard operational procedure. Therefore, I see no legislation to to withdraw from the idea and exercise your right to it's fullest extent. I'm quite sure our friend Rotter would muster up some worthy volunteers to aid this new-founded Bank. Have you thought of a name yet? I was going to suggest Southern Rock, or is that a bit obvious "Exhilarate" perhaps.

I heard it does in fact work out rather nicely that way as popular belief would indeed really think you are a down and out rich person and therefore willingly tell the Treasury that we should hand you a tidy cash lump to see that you are not living in a skip yacht. Be sure when doing the fake poor thing disguise luxury items.

The last time I gave you a large deposit you squealed with delight, but handing over a large amount of cash is a different matter old girl. May I suggest you make this offer to new money only, those guttersnipes don't deserve it anyway so seeing them loose it would be a jolly good wheeze, what. Tip top.
