Is it possible the USAID gravy train shut down reached into the corporate world, too? It’s all fun and games when it’s other people’s $$.

Total BS. Corp America continues shipping jobs offshore looking for lowest cost labor. They are not doing this because the future looks bleak.

“Companies are downsizing as the future looks bleak.”

“GEICO insurance company, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, reduced its workforce by 30,000 positions”

I have Geico car insurance and they’ve raised my rates 50% in a year and a half, I’ve had no accidents, no moving violations. What is going on?

Martin Arthur Armstrong (born November 1, 1949) is an American economic forecaster who was convicted of a felony for investment fraud. He served 11 years in jail for a Ponzi scheme that cheated investors out of $700 million and hiding $15 million in assets from regulators.

3]

Criminal conviction
In 1999, Japanese fraud investigators accused Armstrong of collecting money from Japanese investors, improperly commingling these funds with funds from other investors, and using the fresh money to cover losses he had incurred while trading.[9] United States prosecutors called it a three-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.[10] Allegedly assisting Armstrong in his scheme was the Republic New York Corporation, which produced false account statements to reassure Armstrong’s investors. In 2001, the bank agreed to pay $606 million as restitution for its part in the scandal.[10]

Armstrong was indicted in 1999 and ordered by Judge Richard Owen to turn over fifteen million dollars in gold bars and antiquities bought with the fund’s money; the list included bronze helmets and a bust of Julius Caesar.[11][12] Armstrong produced some of the items but claimed the others were not in his possession; this led to several contempt of court charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and CFTC, for which he served seven years in jail until he reached a plea bargain with federal prosecutors.[13][14][15] Under the terms of the agreement, Armstrong admitted to deceiving corporate investors and improperly commingling client funds—actions that according to prosecutors resulted in commodities losses of more than $700 million—and was sentenced to five years in prison.[16][11]

Armstrong was released from federal custody on 2 September 2011 after serving a total of eleven years behind bars.[17] The case against Armstrong was finally closed in 2017, with the distribution of about $80 million to claim holders by the receiver according to court filings.[18] Armstrong appealed the refusal of the receiver to transport his remaining possessions from storage lockers in New York and Pennsylvania to him in Florida, but the appeal failed in 2019. Concerning his felony conviction, Armstrong is “unrepentant” according to Bloomberg News.[19] In 2014, Italian comedian, activist, and Five Star Movement founder Beppe Grillo’s cited an article by L’Antidiplomatico that quoted Armstrong as supporting Grillo’s anti-euro views and calls for a referendum on the issue, and presented him as a historian who described Grillo as a prominent figure of the struggle for democracy and cited The Economist article “Send in the clowns” (in reference to Grillo and Silvio Berlusconi) to establish Armstrong as an expert holding the opposite view of The Economist.[2] On his website, Armstrong described himself as a “world-renowned” historian and economist, an influencer on Ronald Reagan, and a friend of Margaret Thatcher, without mentioning other details of his biography, such as his criminal conviction.[2]
