Reinhardt,

It might be anecdotal, but it seems that several of these execs
involved (WCG, TYCO) were of Polish decent. I'm guessing that's
attributable to the fact that Catholicism is a pretty predominant
religion among Polish-Americans. This might be an angle worth looking
into: looking at who could be the next connected, Legatus-affiliated,
(perhaps Polish-American?) executive to play the role of pawn in the
great Corporate ATM withdrawal game. Starting with Polish executives
who are suspected members might be a good start.

Last October saw a market-wide dip start just as the pilgrimage began,
and it continued until the trip finished. But I think the real money
is in figuring out where the large moves are going to be made. Maybe
this time we'll finally see one of these banks go under. Maybe. Either
way, this week should provide a nice test for your thesis!
