LPS5, I think a "Hall of Heroes," which would include a few names from right here on SI and also a few of the regulators who have worked diligently to combat fraud in the markets would be in order. Would helping to put Bob Brennan and Meyer Blinder out of business qualify (might be before your time). Maybe a wax figure room of some of the most noteworthy touts out there? Or how about a "Hall of Firms," where the front door signs of some of the most flagrant securities violators (since the 1980s) would be posted, with a synopsis of their total years in operation, a list of the issues they touted, the total dollar amount of funds they ripped off, the number of customers they injured, etc. First Jersey and Blinder Robinson would have to be at the top of the class. I spent most of my regulatory time on the two of them. Just about any firm operating out of Salt Lake City in the early 80's should also qualify. Regards, Ken
