Well for a start, Bank#moves_loans method takes an 'amount' argument 
which you don't appear to be passing. I wouldn't be assigning your bank 
and developer instances to constants either (variable names starting 
with upper case letters are implicitly constants in Ruby). Also, the 
constructor for the Bank object takes 3 values, however you are passing 
them 5?
