Compare 62 bil with the few trillion we've spent so far in mitigating the credit crisis (albeit quite wrongly spent money but that's besides the point). What bank has been seized by FDIC over cybercrime? I think the only company ever folded by cybercrime was Blue Security and that wasn't exactly a major player and some commentators have mentioned they employed less than honest tactics (I have no idea if that is true or not but perceptions are what drive actions, not facts, see politics).
