Question from a foreigner: if this bank is so important for your ecosystem, why don’t y’all interested parties chip into some fund or something and buy it out yourself?

I am also wondering this. The capital definitely exists to do it. Perhaps it is even being asked for, but out of public view.

A benevolent take: yes, perhaps that’s happening.

A non-benevolent take: why would you do that with your own money if you can make it happen at the expense of somebody else?
