Christopher Carey is one of the Worlds Greatest Investigative Reporters. I know I am biased since by Bryant Cragun/Ziasun SLAPP suit has put him on the map. He should have won the Loeb Award. He exposed Bryant Craguns global Boiler Room Operation. Where is the SEC and where are the reporters like thestreet.com which at one time tore me to shreads and painted me as a Basher who was cybersmearing good people like CRIMM Cragun and crew? Where is the SEC and DOJ? Where was Brent Baker of the SEC who had 6 lawyers boxes full of documentation on these crooks? What amazes me is that all the press about Cuban does not even mention what stories made Christopher Carey a great reporter. Here are some of them.
