As the global financial collapse spins out of control our Prime Minister, John Key wants to bring the same banks up to their necks in fraudulent activity to New Zealand.

Mafia and Wall street, you can never leave!

Just the other day I had an interesting interaction on Kiwi blog. I thought it would be educational to give them the link to my open letter to Eugene Bingham.

Acquiring Merrill Lynch: the Lure of Liar’s Loans

Merrill Lynch is the quintessential example of why it was common for the investment banks to hold in portfolio large amounts of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs).  Some observers have jumped to the naïve assumption that this indicates that the senior managers thought the CDOs were safe investments.  The “recipe” for an investor maximizing reported income […]
