Former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt on Deutsche Bank
Chancellor Schmidt says Deutsche Bank is in the hands of foriegn bankers and can no longer be trusted. It no longer looks out for German interests. It's mission now is merely to maximize profits for its international investors.

"I divide humanity into three categories of people." says the Chancellor. "The first category is comprised of normal people. When we were boys we most likely swiped an apple or two, but we later became respectable fellows. Normal people - that's about 98 percent. The second category would be those with a criminal bent. They belong before a court of law, and if found guilty, should be sent to prison. The third category are the investment bankers and fund managers.

Investment banker is a nothing more than a synonym for the type of financial manager who dragged all of us - practically the entire world - into the shit and now is in the process of repeating exactly what he was doing up to 2007."

1. Investment bankers aren't people!
I think the investment bankers' days are numbered if former Chancellors are calling for their heads.
