Libby is appealing his sentencing, and will likely stall long enough for the pardon. He does appear scape-goatish however. The civil trial will likely bring in the rest of the team with indictments. Just my guess. c

Wow, all this "Liberal vs. Conservative" rhetoric is just amazing. It appears that both sides here actually believe that the two sides stand for what they used to stand for, or at least what the other side thought about their counterparts. Where did your tax money go? A little place called...

Nice story, even if highly unlikely. Getting two people to assume adversarial positions has always been a classic. c

Yes, and there are murderers all around the U.S., and we have managed to keep them under control with law enforcement, not invasion of another country with our standing army. We managed to keep America safe through decades of the cold war, and keep America safe from, to a large extent, from...

Isn't this guy one of those acquitted from any charges? I'm not defending him, or any of is cohorts, but I guess he's entitled to get a job. Doing something like working is better than what OJ has done, I guess. c

I agree. I just do research for one of our trading groups, but I see very distinct personalities with the traders. An overbearing type will actually seem to change the thinking of the entire group, but overall they work together pretty well. c

I'm amazed at how long this thread has been going on. There is nothing that can be proven, and the thread title is fallacious at best. However, apparently there is something amusing about it all. c

Once again, with respect, I find that calling possible molestation a phony "scandal" is not becoming of a person that I've seen such good posts from. I also don't recall "Dems" saying that November was a mandate for Socialism, perhaps a mandate against an ill-conceived war, with the horrible...

I think you'll find that Assent is owned by Sunguard, a rather large company. I don't think Assent has 1000 prop traders, however. They may have a retail division, I'm not sure. Benchmarq is a private company of some sort, not a broker dealer or exchange member. c

Just a casual observer, but I find it ironic that the self-fulfilling prophecy of Mr. Hershey taking over the thread, well as you can see. c

Yes, it's pretty doubtful that the "ABB" anybody but bush candidates will have much effect in 08. c

How could it be better? Why do you care of a broker sends some statements to your firm? As long as you doing everything legally, there should be nothing wo worry about. Where I work, we have to authorize those kinds of deliverys for our customers. I guess it depends on whether or not you need...

Let's see, maybe not because of violating your contract with Assent, violating SEC regulations, committing a possible felony. All that comes to mind. c

I agree with you, it is absolutely ridiculous and shameful that our brave children have to suffer for a lifetime because of the acts of a dozen men who wanted to invade a country with, at best, horrible reasoning and piss-poor intelligence reports. Then, to not provide the best possible...

Don't show up on NYSE or NASD. c

Good idea! c

Question, which exchange are they members of? Or are they not a broker dealer? They use anvil, is that assent? sub firm? Then I can offer an opinion. c

Doesn't make sense to me either, but my research shows that the primary reason for Generic/Carlin's problems came from one of their traders who got busted for bilking investors with some fake hedge fund. From what I understand, any registered trader who is busted has their trading firm named as...
