"Im here to tell you something my friend, you can eat and eat and eat, but nothing will ever fill that void." So declared Brad Pitt on the perils of over-eating in his cameo as fatbuster Will in Friends - but the message may also ring true for bank execs and treasurers around the world. Since the near-catastrophic events of 2008 when the world teetered on the brink, banks have been forced to pile on the capital, hoping it would assuage regulators, only to be faced with another round of regulations. Some rules were dedicated to protecting entire economies from the failure of oversized lenders. Others merely imposed new layers of transparency, illuminating a once opaque industry but trimming profits at hard-up financial institutions. Either way, whatever new legislation was heaped upon their staggering frames, it was never quite enough.
