Patrick Byrne is an idiot and if he worried half as much about turning around his piece of shit company as he does about the mafia and naked shorts, his stock might then turn into less of a piece of shit too. Unfortunatly it seems like Patrick can't do that, so he is left to create conspirecy theories and assorted other things to keep him distracted from running a solid public company.
Spoken like a true ET naysayer. Watch closely asshole. The things you see unravel you will marvel at, and they are all direct result of Patrick Byrne. You saw Christopher Cox swallow a gallon of pride, and with the Three commissioners he has left, that's right, there are only three now (ask yourself, if you're fucking bright enuf to be introspective for a nanosecond) where the other three went. You saw him pass a fraud provision vs. naked shorted that doesn't exist. You will see his resignation become public here very shortly I'm told by several sources. How do you think this happened. Granted, subprime put the fear of God into the Hill,a nd that helped., but this all Patrick Byrne. The idiots on Broad and Wall took the country to the brink. Know what the wealthiest guys in the World said to Patrick Bryne? They said, "don't go there. It's too big." Great advice from assholes that get TV time, isn't it? It's too big. Hey, Don. If somebody fucks up at Bright, is that what you do? Sweep it into the error account, and hope it disappears? Know what they tell him now? "I should have known it would have been you to stand up to these assholes." "I 've been watching these assholes for twenty years. Thanks for doing this." For some reason, the power brokers of America refer to Wall St. as 'assholes' over and over. Go figure. If there had been a Patrick Bryne for subprime, maybe 7000 or so people in Cleveland would be in their homes, and maybe the major money center banks would still have money. You are about to find out all your heroes cheat. You are about to find out the Emperor has no clothes. WE are about to find out if there are people in DC, they are saying they are now, but we are about to find out if anybody there has the balls to stand up and try to right the ship. It's going to be very painful. But this doesn't stop at 1975. Maybe 1932. Bank on it.
