  1. Every time I read about this I have a million questions I would love to ask about the situation.
    I also wonder if the financial institutions own employees where getting shot at what the Human Resource department would be faced with the day after or the hour after. Wow a million thoughts and questions. But I am willing to comment on the employee law suits and the turn over the financial institutions would have. COPIOUS
