Yep aint that the truth. But its easier to blame the little guy. I mean how could anyone say well they signed with a straight face. When you see the games this industry alone has pulled on consumers, who didn't take the time to think. And we are considered douche bags by the world as a whole and people werent careful. A banker was a professional you could trust.
