SEC's inspector general, David Kotz... found no evidence that the relationship between Swanson and Madoff's niece... influenced the inspection of Madoff. But it "was put on the back burner" even though the exam team had unresolved questions...

No one even bothers to concoct reasonable lies, anymore - and they still get away with it.

Corruption - it ain't just a river in Egypt.

I was ready to ping the moderator asking him to move this to “Breaking news” or “Front page news” but why bother?

Dozens would show up saying this was because Obama. Twelve folks would come and try to say how this means abortion is evil!

The crevo/evo folks would probably not get involved, because they’re not crevo/evo’d enough yet!

Ninety or more folks would come and say if we elected Mitt Romney, this will never happen again.

I freakin give up...

Iron Law.

ALL, all, everyone, all......bureaucracies get ‘captured’ by those they supposed to regulate. No exceptions.

Professional out right whores are way more honest than bureaucracies. Please don’t slander whores. It is sloppy on your part.

( wiki James M Buchanan and his ...thing...called ‘Public Choice’ theory )

Doesn’t matter who is President. We already had supposed magic words, smeared in ink, printed on wood pulp, bound in leather, stored on oak....forbidding this.

No different that Tibetan Buddhists writing prayers on slip of paper on a mountain top and hanging them in the wind.

No more effective than Jews putting notes in wooded blocks and strapping them to their heads.

No different than carving ‘I Heart Mitt’ on a tree.

Actually, it’s all kind of pathetic, really.

I get the feeling that all that needs to be done to clean up our financial system (i.e. jail the crooks) is going to stop at Madoff.

There is an old saying:
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”

Apparently, there is ONE instance when this was true.
