> It's not very fair to say "I'll only believe that an esoteric motivation exists if the party motivated by it explicitly states that publicly." Who said it has to be explicitly stated publicly? There are thousands of lawsuits every year and millions of pages of testimony. That's why you can point to Jeffrey Skilling or Bernie Ebbers or George Madoff and say "those guys are frauds." But you can't just point at bankers and CEOs as a class, and with no evidence, claim to know what they believe in their hearts.
