Several orders of magnitude more - but they paid the government for forgiveness, a bit like nobles used to buy forgiveness in the middleages :)
I don't think you're making the point you think you're making to anyone but idiots. At the very least the banks could be forced to pay any sum of money at all and their structures could be evaluated and attacked as needed. What recourse would the government have in a system that leaned primarily on cryptocurrency instead of banks?
