The Justice Department today will announce arrests in a crackdown on investment frauds including Ponzi schemes and stock market manipulations, according to a U.S. law enforcement official familiar with the matter. The law enforcement operation, which began in August, involves more than 300 criminal defendants and 180 civil defendants, according to the official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

    Why, under “Related Stories”, do we get links to 21-day old stories about Nazis supposedly having been granted safe havens in the U.S.?

    Tip of the iceberg baby. When these Wall Street scumbags start rolling on each other it’s going to be a Puerto Rican knife fight to see who’s the biggest rat. Merry Motherfucking Christmas.

    Your kind isn’t welcome here. Wall St. scumbags only on this board.

    Why are banks waiting for Goldmans to decide on bonuses. This should give them a reason to pay out early…..

    P.S. I hide contraband up my rear. You’ll need at least three fingers to fish it out.

    There’s an unmarked Chevy Impala parked outside my office, and the men inside appear to have made four trips for donuts in the last two hours. Should I be concerned?

    Anyone else getting a bunch of wierd articles about Nazis in the “Related Stories from Around the Web” on this post?

    Since you work at UBS, then no. They only go after traders that made money from insider info.

    Nope, but I assume you either a) Recently viewed that video on Zerohedge or b) have a shaved head and are hidding many tats with your shirt.

    I am/was, and made a comment to that effect earlier, which comment was promptly deleted for reasons beyond my understanding.

    Negative to both, sir– closest I’ve come to Nazis recently is watching “Casablanca” on cable last night after the Giants game.
