You are right of course..
..My rich father and his mates are living proof.. they are presently clawing back every last penny lost in the "credit crunch" even it makes the debtor go bankrupt and lose their family house. My parents are presently in Vietnam on holiday, but much of the time the house has been occupied by Mike, a business partner of my dads, who is trying to claw back about 0.05% of what Mike is worth from someone who stands to lose everything. Mike refuses to ever answer his phone, turns up anytime he likes and expects dinner everynight so that he can bore us with his thatcherite theories about "the crisis". He is worth 40 million..
