What happened to Ray Williams and Rodney Adler in Oz? Also what happened to DROOY? Everyone on SI seemed to used to be saying what a fantastic investment that was! Oh yeah, what is this about "feather duster"? "H5N1"?

Re: It surprises me how many people in the USA continue to be caught with their hands in the till or conducting various frauds despite the many going to prison. I could not agree less. For the most part, the fraudsters, skimmers, frontrunners, Level 3 anglers, and assorted perps all get away scot-free decade after decade. What surprises me is how naive the American public remains about the fiction of fair markets. Richard Ney, a critic of Wall Street about 3 decades ago wrote the following: "The story is told that after he had been deported to Italy, Lucky Luciano granted an interview in which he described a visit to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. When the operations of floor specialists had been explained to him, he said, 'A terrible thing happened. I realized I'd joined the wrong mob'" w3.trib.com Today, the fraud has simply gotten more complicated..... the smoke and mirrors more layered.... We call this progress.
