Good Move OMD! I was going to suggest that a while back, but I didn't think it would work after the subject was created. Witness the "financial collapse" thread changed to "booms busts recoveries" Still need to do a search for financial instead of a key word from the new title Here, FWIW, key word search "collapes" siliconinvestor.com Any how, thanks!

thank you, TTAR was buried in down at the far end of all my bookmarks. "If fraud is proven, it could result in jail time for the offenders if it was in excess of $10,000, the legal eagles said" nypost.com NOW MORGY WANTS A PIECE OF THE ACTION By JESSICA SOMMAR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 22, 2002 -- Look out Henry Blodget - Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau could be knocking on your door next. While Merrill Lynch has settled charges with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, sources close to the investigations revealed the DA is also looking at the individuals named by Spitzer in his investigation. "We are sharing any and all information [with them]," said the source at the AG's office. Henry Blodget, Justin Baldauf, Kirsten Campbell, Virginia Syer Genereux, Sofia Chachem, Thomas Mazzucco, Edward McCabe and Deepak Raj, former or current analysts at Merrill, were all named by Spitzer's office and are free from further prosecution from the AG after yesterday's settlement. But e-mails from Blodget and his crew showing they gave high ratings to companies' stocks in order to get or retain investment banking business could be used in the 28 class action lawsuits still pending and criminal charges could still be in the works. "They [the DA] could be looking at the fraud. If they [Merrill analyts] were materially misleading their clients to buy stocks they knew weren't worth it and if their clients relied on their wrongful advice and if the clients lost money, and Merrill profited - that's fraud," said Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Fox News senior judicial analyst. "They'll be looking to see if Blodget was receiving compensation to tout bad stocks. If that's true, then in fact he was committing a crime and the DA has a right to look into that," said Stephen Oestreich, partner at Slotnick, Shapiro & Crocker in New York. If fraud is proven, it could result in jail time for the offenders if it was in excess of $10,000, the legal eagles said. The Manhattan DA's press office did not return calls seeking comment. Blodget could not be reached for comment by press time.
