Thomas, no i haven't but i would like to. I know enough about Getty to believe that if were he alive he would see this Ponzi scheme for what it is. i recall a Getty quote that when asked how he got rich he said "i got rich by buying when others were selling and selling when others were buying - this is not just a cliche but it is the every essence of successful investing" this is from memory but it is close enough. i also read a Getty quote where he was critical of the 60s bubble but it continued for years after his comments. His son Gordon did well be selling Getty near the top of oil market ( i forgot what year i was young and tender like da grim -gg- ho ho ho) mike
