i had never spoken to tom hanks. we had 200 text messages over the course of a few weeks but no face-to-face or oral communication and the phone rang and it was tom hanks and he was worked up. the notion of his wife's name being mentioned in the story was -- pretty scared. he had touched a nerve for some reason and he was a traitor. he engaged -- basically a professional gambler with other people's money and very good at that. he was such a traitor that he now proposed to trade to me which was if i promised to take his wife out of the story entirely, not mention her name or occupation or law firm he would agree to meet me the following day and be my sherpa to understand the libor scandal a bit more. this was an easy trade for me to take because i don't care about his wife and hid her name and occupation, mildly interesting but i talked to my boss and we immediately agreed to accept the trade and did this knowing he wouldn't follow through, no enforcement mechanism, no collateral, he was probably going to vanish. we p
