What is Systemic Solvency Club?

Systemic Solvency Club (“SSC”) is a secretive the global cabal community of central bankers, bank regulators, Medicis, ministers of finance, bank chief executives, and their assorted minions and acolytes, who form committees, attend councils, convene forums, publish working papers and periodically gather at a hotel retreat in the Denver mountains called “The Meadows” to benignly oversee the rules, protocols and conventions of international finance that keep the rest of us safe from harm, rapacity, hubris, stupidity and ignorance in the deployment of international capital.

How is that going?

No workplace accidents for 4,509 7 days.

Who is in Systemic Solvency Club?

If you have to ask, it isn’t you.

But is Colonel Sanders in this one as well?
