QUESTION: Hello Martin, Did banks receive government bailouts prior to Glass-Stegal being repealed? If so, if they are forced to return to relationship banking, why can’t the big boys simply drop lending standards and keep bad loans on the books (with a nod and wink from congress), knowing they can strong arm politicians into another […]

COMMENT: Hi Marty, Would you be able to clarify the risks with having just an electronic money system – it would seem that any electronic system would be vulnerable to viruses, bugs, hacking, and other collapse.

Toronto police identified a body found in the water as that of missing Morgan Stanley sales trader Murray Abbott. This is by no means the only trader suddenly found dead.

What the film is exposing is very important from a legal perspective. New York is starting to come under pressure because of the film, and I bet that there will be an […]
