Lost $8 million gambling.

Imo, the attack on Bennett is ill considered. I suspect Bennett is better educated and equipped to deal with the Vegas odds than most individual investors are equipped to deal with Wall Street odds. Yet we don't hear an outcry about the amorality of so called "investors" throwing away money on Wall Street. Personally, I don't think either Las Vegas gamblers or Wall Street "gamblers" are necessarily bad people. If Bill didn't fritter away all his money to the point he can't take care of his family in a good manner, then it is just his personal decision with no significant outside ramifications or harm, the same as it is for folks who lost a lot money during the tech wreck but are still able providers for their families.

JMO,

Huey
