David; Maybe so, but their operation was of such a nature that half the big banks didn't know what the heck was going on, if they gained a lot of money in the way you said, they will spend the rest of their life looking over their shoulder, that's just the way it works. I'm an old bird and can't say that such kind of shenanigans have never crossed my mind or tempted me, but I had the good fortune of seeing several people make large illicit gains, and came to see they also built a sort of self made prison, they are never really trusted again, and become "fair meat" for any other vulture on earth. The life style they wind up with is not as cozy as they thought the money could buy. Surly Nobel prize winners could see the ramifications of pulling a stunt like that ? maybe not. Jim
