mr. d eddie perez 45 minutes. >> thank you very much. first of all, i would like to go back. how did you find out about the libor manipulation? how did you find out about that? >> as i said earlier, there was a lot of concern in the market. much of which was ultimately published in major newspapers of record, about not just the potential that banks could represent what they were paying to borrow, but they were actually doing that, so we first learned of those concerns, at least i personally first learned of those concerns in 2008, and we acted very quickly. >> and you learned about it through news media reporting? >> no, we learned about it through a variety of ways. as you know, the new york fed spends a great deal of time talking to people about what is going on in the market, so it was based on those reports, not just what was in the press. >> so what did you do as a consequence of that publicly or privately in order to respond to what you're seeing work manipulations in the libor rate? >> first, we took a very careful look to see if there was any basis for those concerns,
