Guess what? Companies are often corrupt, people are often stupid. If a little oversight by a 3rd party can help keep the system functioning we're probably all going to be better off for it.

you need to look at the extremes.
hmm, so where do you draw the line? What if I re-mortgage my house, max my credit cards so that I can invest in some new venture? Sholdnt I be allowed to take that risk?I need a 3rd party to approve that? What about stock purchases? Can I buy 200K in mutual funds? Does a 3rd party need to review that?
very slippery slope spence.
