    It just dawned upon me that might not actually be a photoshopped shot. It could have been from Amaranth…

    My favorite part is that his hand is on his crotch and he’s holding what I’m quite confident is lube.

    Now, the SEC says the firm’s explanation was false, and, for several months
    leading up to Sentinel’s August 13 letter, the firm suffered losses due to its
    “undisclosed use of leverage, commingling and misappropriation of clients’
    securities.”

    16:20 08/20 =WSJ: SEC Files Fraud Charges Against Sentinel Mgmt
    Regulators allege the Northbrook, Ill., firm misappropriated investors’ funds
    by mixing their assets into a house account without alerting them, according to
    a complaint filed in federal court in Chicago. Sentinel then hid those losses
    from clients by providing them with misleading account statements, the SEC
    alleges.
