Your question strikes me as very much to the point. I believe that back in those days, the FSA also issued a banking license to banks other than the Incubator Bank of Japan, including Seven Bank and Sony Bank, and I have received a report stating that the processing time and other details in the Incubator Bank's case were not so different compared to those other cases. Still, considering that it is a case involving someone who was an advisor to the FSA – though he supposedly applied for the license after he resigned from that post – it evokes the saying "Suspicious haunts the guilty mind." As Mr. Heizo Takenaka was also a Diet member in addition to being a minister, I am of the opinion that the moral question should still be pursued in a proper fashion in dealing with this case.
大変核心を突いた質問だと思っておりますが、当時、日本振興銀行と一緒にセブン銀行、ソニー銀行なども、銀行としての免許を金融庁として与えたと思っておりますが、それに比べても、その与えた時期等はあまり変わらないという報告はいただいておりますが、しかし、やはり金融庁顧問をしていた方でございまして、お辞めになった後に申請したという話は聞いておりますけれども、やはり「瓜田に履を納れず李下に冠を正さず」という言葉があるわけですから。竹中平蔵さんも、大臣と同時に国会議員もしておられたわけですから、やはりその辺はきちんと、道義的に追及していくことは追及していくべきだと私は思っています。 - 金融庁
