Power to the people. http://www.debtocracy.gr/indexen.html It's time to take back what the politicians and bankers are stealing.
It is strange how he wasn't given bail. They consider him a flight risk. But really, he's the head of the IMF. Where the hell can this guy hide?
Yeah but still. I think the bail was something like $1m, so if an angry woman decides to lie its either $1m or jail for weeks, scary stuff
US legal system seems to be a total mess. It looks like the DOJ intervened in the Nasdaq bid for the NYSE, threatened to sue claiming it would hurt competition and consumers, funny thing is, they would probably win. A bunch of people who studied law proclaim they are experts in something that economists mostly agree doesn't exist(A monopoly without government help), I bet they never even studied economics If we want to 'risk manage' we need to go beyond money and risk manage our freedoms as well. I'm having a class on 'introduction to law' in my college course but I plan to learn more as well, buying books and stuff. Try to find out how to protect myself, etc without having to pay expensive lawyers I dont know how that impacts gold though
Why a total mess? It seems the guy was caught trading with inside information why would he not go to jail? Look Madoff, the guy was arrest in 1Month after the fraud was revealed. If his fraud happened in Brazil he would still be enjoying his money and considering his age he would be dead before spending some days in prision.
You don't have enough information to know that. For example, she may have bruises or scratches, or other indicators of assault. The alternative to not requiring bail is for large numbers of guilty people to skidaddle as soon as they are accused of a serious crime, there's no perfect solution.
