>> Also, I've been a stockholder of a couple of Mexican food companies (tortilla and an egg producer) as well as Brazilian SADA, mentioned in your link.
I believed that these were "just" food companies, and they made their money from farming/processing/selling foodstuffs to consumers. Ha. Very wrong there. They apparently tried to make their profits from financial manipulations. <<
