Oh he's done more than that, Paul
I recently saw a video (not of his show, but of his apparence on another show..a net only video which I think was an online stock tip subscription service ) where he not only told us how stocks were manipulated, but he even told us what stocks he and his cabal manipulated, too.
He said that would call other traders and give them false information, then he'd call business oriented media contacts and feed them false rumors, too. Meanwhile his conspirators were doing the same thing.
Basically he was doing exactly the kinds of things that JP Morgan and his crew of stock manipulating bears were doing over a century ago.
The fact that he is TELLING people how crookedly the game can be played, mitigates somewhat, I think, his past crimes.
Of course, I didn't go broke because of those shinanigans, either, so I might be a tad more forgiving that those who did.
Here's the thing..if often takes a thief to catch a thief.
Should he become SEC chairman?
I have no idea.
But I cannot BELIEVE that the wild fluxuations on the market right now are on the up and up.
Can you?
