Ted the biggest ripoff in history is how your father made a fortune shorting the stock market during the great depression! Some say he caused the crash to fill his pockets. What say you Ted?

Ahhh, the Kennedy fortune was made before that. Their initial fortune was made in bootlegging.

Let's get our Kennedy/Camelot/Legacy facts straight!

Wrong Lisa. His fortune was made off early by taking huge positions and pushing the market. He was one of the biggest players in the NYSE going into the depression. When the market crashed he and a couple of others just happened to be on the short side of most of the market. He made a killing as the market fell. Later he was made the head of the SEC to stop traders from doing what he had just done. That is a fact about Camalot that is not often spoken.

Pray for W and The Truth
