Laughing all the way to the bank, brokers who sold their inventory of BRE-X common at $10, $15, and even $20 per share, made a fortune in a well organized scam based on false geological reports, to blueprints illustrated in the Northern Miner Press Ltd. Alas, past history of such scoundrels usually involved small firms, instead of such large reputable, money hungry thieves as Lehman Brothers, Toronto Dominion Bank, Bank of Montreal, J. P. Morgan, Placer Dome, Barrick Gold, Dunwoody, the Republic of Indonesia, Kilborn SNC Lavalin, etc. Shares now trade for pennies per share, after reports by Freeport McMoRan and Strathcona, indicating that they found virtually no gold at Busang Borneo, refuting earlier reports by John Felderhof, et al, that had created a market cap of over two billion dollars. Can anyone provide more details? |
