The point is that even if all is true this is not something you do to a person who should be considered innocent until proven guilty. Why all this humiliation to a person that will be proven innocent? There are so many false and revengeful complaints which make it to the court only to be later dismissed or the accused declared innocent. If a person is paraded this way and then cleared of all charges who will hire him? Or who will ask for his services? – the person is ruined for no fault of his own. What about human dignity? In this regard, Mayor Bloomberg is dead wrong. Bernanke and Geithner will hire him!

What about human dignity? Haim no one worries about dignity if the person is not rich or famous... One law for all.. no ? If he's innocent (I mean not on a technicality) The ordeal will make him a hero.. I am sure he understands that... You just cannot buy press like this... I've been in bad places... worse than he is in... he is NOT being treated badly I can attest...my youth was misspent...

People must understand the effects Near Zero Interest Rates (NZIR), else they bark at the wrong trees. People are confusing, Speculation, (buying an asset in the expectation that price of said ssset will rise), with protection of capital, buying an asset which value will hold and 'park' your money on it First people buy an asset as protection of capital. As an effect prices start going up. People who used to make a living off capital (when interest rates were high) pile up driving the price of the asset higher.
