I'd bank on him being a bigger crook than Madoff. Bernie, while being a slimy bastard, was used as a distraction so the big boys can remain free.
 
Hedge funders as a whole are less than defendable.

Sure just cause stocks can go up hundreds of percent in less then a year means that oil prices can too right...
 
Here is the link for the podcast of the story I was talking about.
 
You need iTunes to listen to this version but a regular version should be on NPR some where.

The sad thing is, the system hasn't been reformed, it could happen again. But hey, the price we pay for this capitalist free market wonderland.

The title of this discussion was originally "How does gas at $3 ..." but we changed it reflect the current market conditions at the time. Once gas got cheap again, people quit complaining posting.

Meanwhile, guys like Soros who made a billion speculating on oil last year gives 35 million to NYS welfare kids and is proclaimed a hero.
 
Yeah, that's like robbing a bank and then tossing a dollar to a homeless guy on the way out.

I have a feeling Madoff is just the fall guy for a much bigger scam.

A few data points... by andre1969

I filled up my '76 LeMans on Sunday, and 93 octane was still around $2.899. Filled up the Intrepid last night, with 87 octane, for $2.539. So, the prices are holding at least, and not creeping up like they had been.

Gas jumped up $0.20/gallon a few weeks back for no apparent reason, and has now been holding steady for over a week in my area (at around $3/gallon). If the report above is true, we can expect a big drop in prices in about four weeks. But if prices stayed around $3 this summer, with falling consumption, high inventories, epic unemployment, and a raging recession, I would expect to see $4 again as soon as next summer....

That happened here in Colorado as well - the only difference is that it started out at $2.19/gal and is now around $2.45/gal at my local station.
