<<I am in agreement that there have been many startup firms that used their stock to make the insiders wealthier. However, real retailers, as a huge majority are very honest and ethical. If you wish to find a group of devious people, deal with the "average" customer. I am not guessing at this one.>> Glenn, I did not fully explain my point. Many of these .com retail execs are among the most unethical and slimy people in business. If they weren't in .com they'd be shaking down businesses for protection or loitering in vegas. No joke. And now many of them are going broke. I gaurantee anyone reading this that one of the next big scams will be the customer records of these failed .com outfits, including credit card data, showing up in the hands of others. Gauranteed. Victor p.s. a friend of mine was a "mall cop" for a couple of years. He educated me on some of the scams customers pull, like entire familes with infants in tow shoplifting to beat the band!
