Hi Mara, 

I’ve facilitated and co-facilitated OSs at a few financial institutions and 
have hearsay stories about others in US and abroad. My work was covered by 
NDAs, so I can’t/wouldn’t disclose names. 

Your clients can rest easy, as others have mentioned. Their instance would be 
far from the first instance. 

Onward,
Diana
