This looks really bad. I don't know what's the point of letting them operate anymore. They utterly failed on the single thing they were supposed to do.
- QAPereo 9y agoI assume they're incredibly well connected, and lobby hard.
- harryh 9y agoThe business they are in is supplying information to creditors about the credit-worthiness of potential customers. AFAIK they have succeeded at this. I don't want to downplay their security failure. It's obviously really bad, but saying that security was the "single thing they were supposed to do" is false.
- noncoml 9y agoYou are right, it was a hyperbole, but I still don’t see why they should be allowed to continue operating. Would you let a bank continue to operate after they have lost all their money? Never mind, I guess too big to fail applies here as well.
