500k$us is the kind of money that the owner of a small law office or doctor's office makes. In the big scheme of things 500k$us is nothing. Why would someone take on the responsibilities and headaches of a huge international bank, all that risk, having to kiss Congress's ass, etc, when they could make the same money owning a string of suburban laundromats.
