    Muse away, Mr. Tarullo. Fact is, judging when a bank gets before it's a menace to society is not an intellectual pursuit. In the case of TBTF Wall Street and central banksters, it's a question of influence peddling, regulatory capture and offers that "can't be refused" that determines their metastasization, not the actual fact that they passed the point of excessive size and influence long ago.
