More than one in three dollars lent by non-bank institutions such as hedge funds, securitisation vehicles and pension funds, went sour, according to the figures, compared with 11.5 per cent for US banks.
Look at this! The financial crisis hasn't gone away, but simply swept under the rug?

This is from an regulator audit of shared national credits. The article does not say which regulators issued this report.
