Looting Main Street
- Thread starter Toshi
- Start date
Matt Taibbi has been on a roll lately. His articles on the financial crisis have been mind blowing, at least to me. Their have been at least half a dozen in RS in the last year and every single one of them pisses me right the fvck off.
As the tapes of LeCroy's calls show, even officials at JP Morgan were incredulous at the money being funneled to Blount. "How does he get 15 percent?" one associate at the bank asks LeCroy. "For doing what? For not messing with us?"
You know it's bad when a corrupt and immoral crook thinks you're going too far.
(Because it's not the blatant corruption that is shocking the JP Morgan guy, it's the fact that some hick in Alabama is demanding a cut that reduces his own take.)
On the plus side, I don't have to ask myself, "What would a sociopathic Randian asshole like The Joker think about this story?" It's right there for easy reading.
Like the one guy in the bunker with Hitler, who over drinks goes, "Adolf, ever wonder if we maybe we took the Jew thing a little too far?"
