Reply #13: There are some big problems with what Tagg claims

See the items I posted above.

First off, if these guys joined Stanford in March 2008 and the scandal only broke in February 2009, that's nearly a year -- not "two months." So I'd like to know more about that discrepancy.

Second, if Solamere recruited almost all of its 11 advisers from former Stanford people, who were the others and how long had they been with Stanford?

Third, there's Bambauer and May's former firm, Morgan Keegan, which was running its own fraud involving bond funds "that lost approximately $1.5 billion in value between March 31, 2007, and March 31, 2008." Could that have anything to do with Bambauer and May's departure in March 2008?

And fourth, I'm just plain curious about Deems May. Former NFL tight ends are not generally known for their financial acumen. So what was his role as an "adviser"? Window-dressing for the marks? Inquiring minds want to know.
