Very perceptive.
right after 9/11, some events came to light. I developed a relationship with an officer of a company, trying to help them get to where I was in, what is now very elementary. the company was being manipulated, they knew it, and had to get to point B quickly or be destroyed. I did not own any stock, I just wanted a bit of justice.
The guy was a very accomplished individual. Had been way up a /Fortune 500 company ladder. Now, was here getting this company off the ground (he thought). He eventually left after he arranged proper funding, because the death threats were too much.
I asked him, remember, this is late 01, "when you talk about this, as established as you are, do people think you're crazy? "
He laughed. "I just came from a meeting with several people from blah blah blah, and they just stared at me." This is a guy who told me he winced when he started his car. Oh yeah. I wonder how many wise guys on Elite would like a job where someone calls your home phone and says, "listen you!@#$%^&*, we know where your kids go to school, and if you keep doing what you're doing, ................"
That is why it is a perfect scheme. It is so outrageous, guys like Weiss, Cramer, Greenberg can use that "wacky" defense while they fleece the rest of us. And, regardless of what you think , you are being fleeced.
