There it is... the wasting of our tax dollars (yen) for nothing has been cemented. Good luck, Tokyo, but in all honesty there's not a chance you'll win.

I wonder if Blinky's failed bank will be given charge of the books for this?
He'd lost (or misappropriated) 80% of the capital even before the current banking crisis hit. He'd no doubt welcome a new account opening.

josebove, Agreed! And she's 42. Should be an inspiration for all women for looking good into their 40s.
