In case you didn't realize:

(1) many banks did not receive any bailout at all and have already died (Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns being two prominent examples, but certainly not the only examples)

(2) Basel 3 has already been rolled out, and will take effect by 1st January 2013, so how to act irresponsibly?
