Is that bad, when you're being charged by guys carrying badges with being a lying, cheating criminal scumbag?
I mean, they all claim they "Din't do nufin'" on COPS whenever I stumble across it, so those same protestations don't hold a lot of weight when the foremost class action lawyer in the country is cuffed. No plea bargains here. Just a kick in the nuts and a warrant. Nice.
My hunch is that Lerach might have done a little talky talky in exchange for his single charge, and Weiss is about to get a firehose enema.
Isn't it funny that these guys were untouchable, and a favorite foil of the hedge funds now also facing legal challenges? I can trace to the day when MW's troubles started - the day they decided to sue the NYSE. Almost like in the Milken case, where the message was sent, loud and clear by the royalty of Wall Street......You think you can screw with US? We made you. You were nothing before we allowed you to dance as our jester, and you can find out what date night is like in Attica if you cross us. We can take you down so hard you'll never know what hit you, if you want to play hardball with us. We run things. Bad move, uppity little man. Bad, bad move.
Then again, maybe it's just the infinite symmetry of the universe, and Karmic retribution of some sort.
I kinda doubt it. But still. Could be.
Speaking of being taken down harder than Tyson with a right cross, did everyone catch that Rocker and Gradient lost their umpteenth stalling bid, and are now going to face the music? Ya gotta love the last two paragraphs of the OSTK release linked above.
I love how Gradient is saying the pledge of allegiance while insisting this is all about free speech. Contrast that to the prior release.
Sweetie. Please. Ya tried that. Got swatted down harder than a Times Square hooker mouthing off to her man. Figure this out. Nobody's buying it, and you're now in the spotlight. The weak assurances that your brave and important work won't suffer while you are undergoing a legal proctology exam fools nobody.
I particularly enjoy the bit about how the SEC decided not to pursue the case, as though that meant anything in light of the Pequot case findings by Congress. The only way it could have been more meaningless is if they had allowed the statute of limitations to run out first. Sorry, ladies, but trying to convince the folks at home that your buddies in the SEC running cover for you is anything but disturbing proof of the rot at that agency, just falls flat. We all understand how that works. You worked for really prominent and important scumbags, who own a bunch of SEC scumbags, and you got them to pretend to care so you would have some window dressing for the PR releases. Which means precisely nothing.
Please. Really. Please. Nobody is fooled. Those days are so over. O-V-E-R.
And now it's showtime.
Better start warming up.
