Good one Phil! Unlike your friends at Overstock, I abide by SEC regulations and therefore I would disclose if I had a position in the stock. But I don’t. And you need not worry about how well forensic accounting pays. I’m doing just fine, thank you.

(Now off to my secret meeting with the Sith Lord. Don’t tell Sam Antar. He’ll think the mighty one is playing favorites again.)

This made me laugh…”I’ve mostly lost interest in the topic. ” Thanks!

Is it me, or just the sound of one hand clapping? You sound like you’re trapped in the blogosphere. Perhaps forensic accounting pays better when there’s real fraud.

I’ll be happily following to see what your crew is shorting next. Stick a fork in it, the OSTK short didn’t work and your reassignment should be along in the mail.

Thanks for letting me know you’re still reading, Lenofus and “Sophia.” Sophia, may I please introduce you to blogging? I never claimed this was a journalistic piece. It most certainly is in opinion piece. With the opinions shared by many.

this piece not only wouldn’t stand in any third-rate court, it’s so empty of facts and so saturated with unsubstantiated opinion that it’s a great example of the hogwash festering on the web. it beats all the most basic principles of journalism, repeated a thousand times. frightening.

many inconsistencies tell the informed reader your article is not only slanted, but horrible incorrect. I submit:

“Gary Weiss wrote an interesting article…………” Never happened.

Second, “………Mitchell rants and raves.” this is too funny. If anyone ever had a right to, it’s Mitchell. But he hasn’t got it in him. He’ll just bury you with “barrels of ink”. Isn’t that the phrase, “barrels of ink”.

“No one but Byrne and a few closely tied wack-jobs think NSS had anything substantive to do with the financial meltdown.” Won’t even bother. Just Google “naked short selling”. Pitt, Forbes, etc. All guys who fought us……See, the rich are hurting too. And they know why. Ask Gary Aguirre what he thinks.

On and on……this bores me. But how about raising the flag for a minute. The easy money has been made. The profits stashed. If for nothing more than to keep the townspeople from finding out and marching on City Hall with pitchforks and torches, give it up.
