Everyone except the United States Government that is. It loaned Hanks 160,000+. Loaned. They expect to get it back. I would suggest maybe they feel they have a good chance of recouping. I mean, I agree, it hasn't looked good here for a long long time, but the US Gov thinks he's legit. If nothing else, I guess i don't feel so bad for being scammed by Hanks. I'm in good company IMO
