Charles Ponzi Arrested in 1910

What's Going On with the Damn Banks and
the Sleeping Regulators ?????

Some Short Videos below, to give you an idea of some of the
issues that brought us, and the world to the steps of financial
disaster. Still in the air we mght want to rethink some of
our ways of allowing banks to work, through regulations
that are based upon more rigid formulas for risk.

The Bernie Madoff story, perhaps a successor to the well
known Charles Ponzi, from whom the "Ponzi scheme is known". Greed, avarice, lust, and a host of other frowned upon
human conditions are alive and well in todays financial
markets and that's why laws that are enforced by regulators
are helpful for civilization.

If you had a new Turbo Porsche or other racing toy and
drove around your town at 170 mph for years and years

after so many years of lawlessness behind the wheel-the
shock should be why did it take so long to see the car?
