8. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see it having extended far beyond the SEC. I think
the US is a far more corrupt place than many would like to believe. On another topic, nano-trading, the market is soooo rigged I'm thinking one has to be a real fool to be involved trading anymore unless well connected. This country has become a shame of a place.

IMO the corruption runs so deep, so wide, so well concealed that it's hidden from all but those on the take. An awful lot of skimming is going on IMO. RT had a piece today about the nano-trading servers located right on top of wall street so as to make huge dollars after instigating volatile markets like we recently saw ... that's not all by chance ... really big bucks are being made. ... but who is going to sort it all out. And then what. The big players see no grief, but big $$$ rewards.
