Yup. If one can make money now by pushing off problems for the future, oversight is vital. Otherwise we guarantee problems in the future. Banks are a great exam

Yup. If one can make money now by pushing off problems for the future, oversight is vital. Otherwise we guarantee problems in the future. Banks are a great example. As are investment companies; Ponzi schemes are one easy way for those to go wrong. One non-governmental way to do that is audits. Which is why Tether's lack of serious audits is so concerning. They claimed to be cash-backed for a long time but wouldn't prove it. Once the NYAG force them to open up, it's clear they were lying.
