Isn't the investor justification for taking a huge chunk of profits "we take risk"? I fail to see how this is unfunny just because the risk you took played out in the bad way.

I believe they didn't think that the biggest risk to their investment would be the bank the co-founders chose.

Perhaps it wasn't the biggest risk at the time. Still a risk though.
