>>A "confidence man" working a room of SI clientele in a private environment has significantly easier target-rich enterprise.

Did someone give the investment opportunity a greater degree of credibility because it arrived via a SI PM versus any other number of possible means? Of course not.

>>None of us knew, and how would we?

I understand that. How would SI know? By monitoring private communications? By telling people they don't have the right to engage in private dialog based on... what?

Again, I'm not saying that what happened in this private transaction between willing, intelligent participants was good, bad or indifferent. My point is that it doesn't accomplish anything to blame the highway for wreckless or careless drivers.
