In a position of prominence in the financial sector, there are lines he cannot cross in talking with me despite a family connection. However, his non-specific remarks on the banking sector were disconcerting. Later on, he mentioned that private equity firms that buy controlling stakes in publicly trading companies as opposed to buying exclusively into private companies have to be extra careful in how they proceed. I referred briefly to the matter of AVNE suspended following iequity's involvement, and he audibly groaned, though it appeared to pique his interest in enquiring into the make up of iequity corp pursuant to the favor I asked of him.
