No. It’s still too soon. But no better a reminder of the really important client paradox. The one that the CEO really wants to happen? It is time for one of our little dramatic vignettes, readers.

{{Quote|Three years pass. Suddenly, a large explosion offstage. Alarum within. Enter HANK, CHIP, CHUCK, with Attendants, encountering a bleeding Chief Risk Officer, lying near the billowing wreckage of a prime brokerage business.

HANK: “Oh, brave Chief Risk Officer! You shall not have died in vain!”
CHIP (kneeing over the stricken officer): “Sir! He’s not dead!”
HANK: “Oh, brave, brave risk manager! Mortally wounded by this calumny of no-one’s doing —”
CHIEF RISK OFFICER: (sitting up, weakly): “As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a bit better now. I ... think —”

HANK nods discreetly to CHUCK, who whips out a dagger and slides it between CHIEF RISK OFFICER’s ribs. CHIEF RISK OFFICER groans and falls back, lifeless.

HANK: “Oh, brave Chief Risk Officer who, when it seemed he was about to recover, suddenly felt the icy hand of death upon him: you shall not have died in vain. You died for our sins.” CHIP: “I say, steady on old man: let’s not get carried away with the religious allegories shall we?”
