The economic crisis caused unrestful lives to almost all the Americans. Worse is that bank stress tests have been leaked, albeit in incomplete form.
The bank stress tests indicate that the largest banks, all of which received large installment loans from the taxpayers, are still heavily leveraged and still run a huge risk of collapse.
The source isn't exactly known for its journalistic integrity or anything resembling something positive.
The leak comes from the Turner Radio Network, run by Hal Turner, a radio show host and blogger who is closely tied to the white supremacist movement and is a Holocaust denier (a crime in Germany and Austria).
Regardless of the dubious nature of the source, the companies on the bank stress test list http://turnerradionetwork.blogspot.com/2009/04/leaked-bank-stress-test-reults.html still need debt relief.
