I agree, and I think that's where most of us land, but there was a general sentiment in 2020 that proper due-diligence would get in the way of getting the money out in time to make a difference. There was always an assumption that there would be some amount of grift, but now with the realization that the grift was worse than expected, the general sentiment seems to be that it wasn't the wisest course of action.
