>as someone else has pointed out, a former SEC employee has landed a nice >cushy job at the Motley Fool... That would have been me.. And it wasn't just any SEC employee, it was their chief fraud investigating officer. All of these clowns know that if they do "favors" for various big brokerages and banks- ie look the other way when laws are broken- then they will be given cushy "jobs" for life as soon as they leave the SEC, with the salary roughly determined by the amount of sleaze they "overlooked" while in office. This also explains why the SEC seems to expend all of its efforts going after small time boiler room scam artists, throwing the book at some thugs who might have made a few hundred thousand selling non-existant shares, but lets the morgan stanley's of the world commit massive fraud and price fixing and only slap miniscule penalties on them. When's the last time you saw a major brokerage player being prosecuted for anything? Ain't america great.
