Bill,

I have seen the site.
I have merely tried to point out that not everyone is as good an investor as you. And yes, it is quite possible that someone could have lost money due to your little 'joke'.
I can understand why you have to keep insisting that it couldn't happen.
But actually, I think you are smart enough to figure it out. I hope it doesn't eat at you too much.
You put a lot of emphasis on the word 'facts', there are probably some on s.i. that read what you write and assume that everything is 'fact'.

Good nite.

John

Embattled Banker In Court Dressed As Woman
2:13 p.m. ET (1814 GMT) April 30, 1999
LONDON — Peter Young, the former Morgan Grenfell fund manager accused of conspiracy to defraud, made a second appearance in a London court Friday, again dressed as a woman.

The City of London Magistrates Court transferred his case to the central criminal court, the Old Bailey, but no hearing date was set. He and three others were released on bail.

Young, dressed in a bright red blouse and skirt and wearing make-up and a pearl necklace, was a fund manager at Morgan Grenfell until being dismissed two years ago in an affair that cost German parent Deutsche Bank millions in fines and compensation to investors.

Young has in the past declared himself mentally and legally incompetent to defend a civil action brought against him by Morgan Grenfell.
