"PS, this just in, John Merriweather the famed Long Term Capital mastermind has done it again! He is closing his most recent hedge fund after blowing up himself and customers. Might I be so bold as to suggest that he apply for the potential vacant Fed chairmanship or possibly even Mr. Geithner's job? After all, he does have experience navigating sinking ships in derivative infested waters.... To all; say it isn't so! Hannibal Lechter had his market manipulation tool stolen from him and what does he do? He runs to the police crying foul like a drug dealer that got held up and had his drugs stolen. To be honest, I wouldn't have guessed that Goldman would ever have divulged this theft. How could they divulge that they have a super duper trading platform that used (im)properly could manipulate markets? But then again, these guys who are smarter and more honest than us "serfs" would never ever manipulate a market. Why would they need to? They are smarter than us and always make money. They must be on the up and up because the regulators haven't put them in jail yet. Like I said the other day, this is systemic and even the core (regulators) are rotten. Regards, Bill H."
