Approximately 100,000 per investor. In other words, as it operates in the shadows, fsoc can take away the seed capitol necessary to launch a Small Business or to send a child to college. That is both unfair and unwise. And while fsoc seems dead set on trying to find Systemic Risk where no one else seems to find it, a review of their latest report indicates that it is willingly and willfully blind to the largest sources.
