         | if the bank fails, then it causes risk to the financial system.
         | If a private credit fund does badly, you have sad investors.
         | But the broader financial system is not imperiled.

         | TBC, I think the private credit guys got over their skis over
         | the last 5 years and we'll see some sad investors in the next
         | few years.
