Comments on: FBI Probing Companies At Heart Of Meltdown

Collapse Of 4 Major U.S. Financial Institutions Helped Spur $700B Bailout Plan

[nvorr]

The solution to this whole mess is painfully obvious:

1. Seize all assets of every executive, board member, financier, banker, inside trader, broker, accountant, lawyer and lobbyist involved in these corrupt and profligate enterprises.

2. Use the cash from their overflowing offshore accounts and from the fire-sale of their regal homes, vacation estates, private jets and investment portfolios to pay this monumental bill they accrued with our stolen credit -- and retire the national debt while we''''re at it. Then repair all facets of this nation''''s crumbling infrastructure while employing every able American who wants to work fixing it. There will STILL be BILLIONS left over to update our waning military resources and to shell out some well-deserved bonuses to our returning soldiers.

3. Use some of the leftover funds to buy up dilapidating public housing projects and slum domiciles now facing foreclosure, and sequester said ''''businessmen'''' and their families within. Feed and shelter them there at public expense -- which is what they''''re requesting, after all -- for no longer than one year. After that, they have to work like everybody else.

Simple, straightforward and just. Period.

Dearest FBI Director Robert Mueller don''t forget to investigate your own agency for spending billions on a drug war that has failed. Each day you spend another dollar to put some pot smoker in prison you damage this great nation and put us further in dedt with no real benefit. And please don''t leave out that faulty Ballistic lab.

Pardon me, but this is SO dishonest! C''mon!

You can''t tell me that the FBI doesn''t or hasn''t been eavesdropping on some of these financial leaders already just like everyone else!?

The Washington D.C.-Wall Street connection is pretty open---or so I''ve heard!

It seems to me, this is MORE a case of the FBI covering it''s OWN fanny because they KNEW it was going on and they didn''t do ''squat'' about it!

Hey, there might even have been several whistleblowers who were feeding them ''blow by blow'' reports of the larceny whom the public has never heard of---at this point!

Well, the horses are ''out of the barn'' and on the other coast by now! Have fun!

the fbi needs to be probing oil companys but with an idiot in the white house that will not happen.

[missingamerica]

The FBI is looking, eh?

Probably why Paulson and Bernanke want the money "right now, no strings attached"....is probably some missing "liquidity".

T he only way they could keep the economy up was to let people have more credit. Almost every day a person gets another offer on a new credit card no matter how your credit is. They could buy houses with no money down cars with no money down. This is no way to do business but is has keep the economy up until now. The people who make the loans make money they sell the loan these people make money and the taxpayer is going to pay the bill.There should be a lot of people go to JAIL over this.

It was reported on AOL news this morning that:

Corporate India is in shock after a mob of sacked workers bludgeoned to death the CEO who had dismissed them from a factory in a suburb of Delhi. Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47, the head of the Indian operations of Graziano Transmissioni, an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of car parts, died of severe head wounds on Monday afternoon after being attacked by scores of laid-off employees, police said. The incident, in Greater Noida, just outside the Indian capital, followed a long-running dispute between the factory''s management and workers who had demanded better pay and permanent contracts.

According to reports, Choudhary had summoned about 100 workers to discuss a possible reinstatement. A police spokesman said: "Only a few people were called inside. About 150 people were waiting outside when they heard someone from inside shout for help. They rushed in and the two sides clashed. The company staff were heavily outnumbered."

Other executives said they were lucky to escape with their lives. "I just locked my room''s door from inside and prayed they would not break in. See, my hands are trembling even three hours later," an Italian consultant, Forettii Gatii, told a local newspaper.

Is it possible that we can institute a probe of congress and their cronies, not to mention the lobbyist. This group should be banned permanently from any contact with political personnel during their tenure as government employees

[bogusbones]

punish those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. ken lay was child''s play compared to these people. also put employees on government pay scales. enough of the rampant greed. put teeth into the regulations.

[helanwate]

Do a Google search on ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and the mortgage mess. It might open a few minds.

[gop_will_win]

I hope they find and convict all the low level mail clerks and janitors that created this mess and lock them up for a long time.

"We The People" need to take matters into our own hands. The workers in India have the right idea.

"Indian govt backs workers who killed boss: police, reports"

"NEW DELHI (AFP) %u2014 Sacked workers in India beat to death the boss of the Italian company that had laid them off, police said on Tuesday, in a killing the government described as a "warning for management."

The financial collapse was caused by one scientist working alone in his lab, the FBI has announced.

"We believe that Dr. Evil, without help from anyone in the Republican party, engineered this massive collapse" an FBI spokesman said.

Other sources disputed the analysis, suggesting that a shadowy figure known as "Mini-Me" may have played a role in the market meltdown.

Will this be a real probe? Or will this be like a Congressional type probe where no one really did anything wrong?

______________-

Considering the number of high profile subpeona no shows over the last 8 years, think and decide.

CEO soon to mean: Cell Executive Occupant

[upto1947]

The FBI. Big deal. They wonr do anything. Just something to make BUSH look good, like he is doing something. Like he cares.

[jckbrn-2009]

Isn''t this sort of thing called "treason" - causing international harm to the nation should result in the highest penalty - - and forfeiture of all financial gains.

[craigh9]

Fully seize every asset that anyone has if it can be proved they were involved in the questionable dealings of these companies - including our fine members of congress that lined their pockets through this debacle.
