peace and the malaysia piece. they are separately negotiating with malaysia, but i think over the last year, we have seen a range of estimates out there, anywhere from $1 billion to $10 billion, and if you got under $2 billion for the u.s. peace, and we have also reported that the malaysia discussions have been around $2 billion, that would be on a lower end of what analysts had been throwing out there for kind of a base case. so i think you are seeing what the stock investors are viewing this as, better than a worst-case scenario that we saw, then people were expecting maybe a few months ago. guy: can i conclude from this lower number that it also comes with a guilty plea? michael: that is still unclear at this point. what some of the other pieces of a settlement would look like. talks are ongoing. there are reports it could wrap up as soon as next month, but of course, it could extend beyond that. these have been -- this has been a long process, and one that is still ongoing. you have the bank still in discussio
