Could there be an honest banker after all? Or just one who can read the writing on the wall?

Sounds like he'd be a good candidate for Tresury!

October. Some are with smaller firms and like Manhattan Hayfield Financial Manager Paul Ryan don't mince words about the rigged, corrupt big bank Wall Street system. These iconoclasts would know. Hayfield is a smaller firm, 'not for aristocrats' as noted on the website.
