The parent asserted that, but did not actually quantify the risk in any way. I could just as easily say that there was no risk at all since the government was obviously not going to allow those institutions to fail.

One way to infer: what's the risk of lending to a company that's facing an existential crisis, that's in such dire straits that no one else would lend to it?

The claim that I answered where "Money were made" it didn't quantify it either so I fail to see the point.
