When it's not actually a quote, you might want to present it a little differently. Especially when nobody can tell that its fake at a glance.

Yep. His explanation of the details is somewhat interesting, but his insistence on ascribing all moral responsibility to customers, governments, or random bystanders because none of this could possibly be anyone in the banking industry's fault is infuriating.
