MADOFF: Financial con man better watch out!

People are gullible. I actually tried to warn a group of about 25 people they were falling for a Ponzi scheme once and only convinced 1 not to invest. I was invited as a potential sucker to hear one of these shysters give his hustle speech. Most of the others knew this crook personally so they thought that I, a stranger, had to be lying or a crazy man. One of the victims actually said, "I've known him for years, he would not do that to me!". I ended up in a shouting match with the crook. When I went home, I called our state's Attorney General who started an investigation which took some time. Still, it resulted in the crook fleeing the USA with reportedly over $4 million. The guy I convinced not to invest thanked me. I never heard from the others. Point being, when people want to believe, they will believe. Intelligence can be overwhelmed by an emotion like greed.

Today, it's very hard to tell the good guys from the bad. They seem to be all crooks.

It would seem Paulson and Bernanake are traitors trying to destroy the USA's economy so the government can buy out or otherwise acquire interest in the major industries of the USA. This would result in a de facto conquest of the USA by socialists and communists without a shot being fired. People would mostly cheer as it happens, believing they were being saved! What a world.

BatBoy does have a crazed look in his eyes and really sharp teeth. It should scare anyone straight.

This criminal was co-founder of the NASDAQ stock exchange. It makes me think all of the stock market is manipulated.

Well, well, how about that. I think he's already skipping with glee. More friends in high places and brown nosed dogs than a fellow would know what to do with. It's all that money Red, it corrupts all. They will all do what he says for a slice, or the threat of some underling that 'da Boss wants', will always see fruition. Humans are hopeless.
