Liquefy him too for good measure

Curious if they could even get 100bil out of his assets.

His value hinges on the value of these companies. It will later hinge on the value his companies had, and then the next incredibly insane thing his sycophants lap up

I wouldn't wish what I suspect is coming for some of these greedy robber baron assholes on any living thing that can feel pain... but I kind of hope it gets caught on film for future generations to learn from.

I wonder if we could collectively push the funds to divest from closed book financial companies

If we don't, there just won't be a market, anymore.

I stopped telling colleagues to "invest at least 10%" and "at least get the 401k match, it's free money" about three years ago.

The future of common people's investing is very possibly only in gold chains and under mattresses.

You're correct from my assessment. It has always been kicking the can down the road. Eventually the bill comes due. Realistically the sooner the better, but we live in crazy corruption, so it only crashes when retail investors and the common folk hold the bag and not a second sooner.

Bailouts have not been the worst thing. The lack of stipulations and not marching the c-suite through the streets in rags needs to be fixed, but overall it's even money for the fed that keeps people working - https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/list I am a big puzzled why several extremely profitable companies are still in the red. Seems like the feds should just take the money with a hefty fee for making them wait.

From what I understand, the main difference between what they are doing and Enron, is that they've had 25+ years to lobby Congress to make it legal.

Lying? They'd never!

Some of them will lose, and some "investors" will go dead broke.

It's never everyone one would wish it could be, of course.

I don't even think it's worth the mystery of using the word 'someone'.

The debt is circular. All of the bad faith actors in the field are both lenders and borrowers.
