Once upon a time, a man walked into a casino and started playing roulette. Little by little, he kept putting bets on numbers that were not called. The more money he lost, the more desperate he became until he could no longer contain himself.
Irate, he started to complain profusely: first at the dealer and then to the management of the casino, claiming that their system was wrong and that they were to blame for him losing his life savings. He demanded to be repaid his losses. The bouncers calmly and quietly escorted him to the door, never to let him in again.
This seems only right to me.
But imagine my surprise and indignation when I learned today that stockholders are taking Fortis to court (one of them claiming to the amount of 2 billion euros), demanding reimbursement for the money they lost due to the credit crisis.
Pure madness.
