Subject: Re:

MissDelish: 5 bil is close to 2/3 of all the people in the world.

Printing statements like what that one economist said can grab our interest and sell news papers, but if you think about what it really means...

"One economist stated..." that nearly 2/3 of all the people in the world "were affected by this rigging of Libor rates"

It's like the butterfly effect. If you accidentally kill a butterfly, it can affect the lives of thousands of people.. or millions of people.. or billions.. or trillions...

I killed a bug the other day. The possible repercussions are mind boggling.
