"We gotta break in because the ̶j̶e̶w̶s̶ giant nosed goblins control the banks!"

Dark reading but fair point. I mean yeah, the fact that the goblins hold a money monolopy in the first place is really weird.

Apparantly in the books, wizards shy away from banking because of the bad image and so no one except goblins wants to do it, so a bad societal dynamic is hinted there. But then again, goblins ARE depicted as greedy and evil.
