Some of the people who lost everything in the savings and loan crash retaliated by harassing the people responsible. One way was to stake out their offices and throw water, or flour, on them. I don’t know offhand if Keating specifically was a target of this harassment, but I clearly remember news video of elderly women throwing flour at designer-suit-wearing bankers. (I was also cheering for the old ladies. I believe there’s a special place in hell for people who scam the elderly.) ---
