    50 billion dollar just evaporated from the market

    futures and forex accounts aren't insured.

    futures and forex brokers aren't insured like the SIPC

    and this guy is a hedge fund so any money lost is gone.

    SEC and SIPC and all the market regulators at least a billion in fees and taxpayers funding.


    and this is all they can do. arrest. no preventative measures.

    When putting together a $50 billion fraud you'd hope they could catch it year 1.

    Our tax dollars at work...accomplishing nothing.

    i agree with that. all the high profile busts and alledged fraud goes on after a meltdown. as long as things are going good,people don't give a shit if the company they invest in is a scam,but god forbid they lose money...

  7. No one should invest in hedge funds or mutual funds, and have to pay fees. I bought some zero coupon treasuries 7 months ago and they are up 54%.
