		<description>Harry Markopolos&#039;s discovery of fraud, and the discovery that the regulatory agency refused to do anything about it is not uncommon.

I have put up a website, www.APhoneNumberForThePresident.com, which describes how a phone company attorney committed perjury by  creating a fictional phone number to avoid paying millions of dollars in fines to the State of California. 
The FBI told me, it could not determine if the phone company attorney committed perjury. 
I feel the same way about the FBI as Mr. Markopolos feels towards the SEC.</description>

Re: wardrobe choices

Agreed.  He looks his mom dressed him up for Easter Sunday.

@21

I&#039;m not from Boston so I&#039;ll take your word.  In that case, @3 scores extra points for being both funny and correct.</description>

Including the &quot;pastry cooks would have a conscience, lawyers don&#039;t.&quot;</description>

		<description>dear 18,

maybe knowing in your heart that you&#039;re right while suffering through an 8 year barrage of being told you&#039;re crazy day after day... maybe that&#039;s enough to make you a little paranoid. maybe it&#039;s enough to make you sleep with a burner under the pillow for fear that a sociopathic 135 lb. geriatric jew from far rockaway is gonna come git&#039; you. maybe its even enough to give you a slightly irrational outlook on life, and an inability to articulate your thoughts and emotions in a manner that doesn&#039;t result in you being perceived as a borderline-delusional hyperbole laden, narcissistic blowhard... even if all of those things are true, the fact remained that there is simply no amount intellect, no amount of pent up vindication or self righteous sense of moral superiority that justifies a salmon on pink shirt/tie combo. 

very truly yours, 

8, esq.</description>

		<description>Markopolos is well-known around the Boston quant community. He&#039;s always come off like this; it&#039;s not due to his big catch.</description>

		<description>@18 - great post!

The fact that there are people who still snicker at Mr. Markopolos convinces me without a doubt that style wins over content time and time again.  Yes, it would be great if Markopolos could polish up his style.. but so what if he doesn&#039;t?  He nailed it!</description>

		<description>@8-9

I suppose that comes with spending eight years of his life knowing that people were steadily being conned out of large amounts of money while he was unable to do anything about it. Eight years of knowing that he&#039;s bright enough to figure it out by himself while paying taxes each year to support congressional windbags.  Eight years of being ignored and rebuffed while the criminals feast.  He&#039;s a moral dude with a concscience that was trying to protect individual investors so he&#039;s rightly pissed off.  Even now after he&#039;s been vindicated, nothing has changed...so he&#039;s employing hyperbole on the talk show circuit in an attempt to shame the relevant parties into action.</description>
