Federal Judge Rakoff Doesn’t Stand A Chance

August 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Wall Street

If he and the SEC’ definition of justice is a lousy $33 million fine with no one being personally held accountable, then “the nation’s top Wall Street cop” really is in an “awkward” spot. In fact, the “spot” is much more than awkward; it’s outright insulting.

Random Thoughts on Other Notable Headlines of the Day — Issue XXXVIII

August 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Wall Street

Rachel Beck of The Associated Press is saying the same; “[SEC] is like a traffic cop ticketing a speeding care instead of its driver”. She quotes Thomas Gorman of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur as saying “if the SEC really wants to regain its title of top cop, then it will have to prosecute individuals involved.

Random Thoughts on Other Notable Headlines of the Day — Issue XXXIV

July 15th, 2009 · No Comments · The President

Murtha has been connected to several corrupt cases, many where his brother and nephew were involved. For the life of me I can not understand why the FBI has not chopped the legs from under this crook. But Murtha has been on the job for 35 years, and who knows what kind of dirt he has about other powerful people.
