Hi FFB,

Just want you to know that the Visual Guide of the Financial Crisis is from the Mint blog. I think this was just someone picking up the visual from there so the link should be attributed to the Mint blog. I’m afraid your spam blocker may put my comment in spam if I give you the link, so if you just search for “Mint blog Visual Guide to the Financial Crisis” you’ll get the original link to that image.
