I can go on, Steve, but I think our viewers get the point.

This thing permeates the global financial system.

Everything you can think of, Chinese foreign direct investment, leveraged deals, hedge funds, currencies.

The reason, Steve, is that these crises, they use the word contagion, they spread.

They start out small corner of the world, and pretty soon, it is global.

Again, in 1998, that started in 1997 in Thailand.

Thailand devalued their currency, which made all those loans more dollar investments worth less.

They sold everything in Thailand and got out.

That spread to Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea.

People were killed in South Korea.

There were riots in the streets.

I spoke to the former Malaysian prime minister.

He was a guy who stood up.

It was a big fight at the IMF meeting in Hong Kong in 1997.

I was there for that.

But it took a year and a half to come around the world.

I negotiated the LTCM bailout with 14 Wall Street banks.

I call them the 14 families.

I think 19 international lenders.

Steve, no exaggeration.
