    Your not giving Hank Paulson all the credit he deserves. FAIL.

    And the 3 heads of Cerberus exploded... Actually they exploded when they decided to go after Chrysler operations. Can anyone explain that genius move?

    @39 At the end of the article is paints Andres (Corina's husband) and his father in law as victims. It even hints that they might be planning to sue the SEC. SO it's definitely a PR piece planted by Andres. But it has a lot of interesting biographical info.

    Oppenheimer doesn't want any lawsuits? Too late. BTW, the name is pronounced MAH-duf.

    Whatever Krugman says. He nailed it.

    @38 Comment of the Day! And BTW, I thought Quick was divorced.

    The alleged self-investigation will require many paper shredders. Can the FBI get involved and get a US court to issue an injunction to stop this show? And Cox has just made an important contribution to the muddled metaphor index. So sad that the creator of the index is no longer with us to witness it.

    @16 When people like Pitt and Cox are the heads of the SEC, is not even really necessary for a CEO to call people like Schumer. I exclude Donaldson from the list because he did try to bring some reform to the SEC, but got fired for it in mid-2005. Donaldson did fail to be effective on the naked short-selling issue, but that's not why he was fired.

    @18 I believe that is a reference to George-Michael Bluth's frozen banana stand.

    Bernie will end up in Mexico, and declared dead over there after paying a few bribes.

    Bess should start posting pictures of the show "Arrested Development" every time she writes something about Madoff.

    There will be a Cubs deal by Spring training. Not sure who is bidding but there are bidders.

    Bair saw this crisis from the beginning. As assistant secretary of the treasury she tried to put some control in the wave of predatory lending that was emerging in 2001. She was ignored, especially by her bosses and Greenspan. Bottom line, she has earned the admiration of Democrats in Congress. It will be hard to push her out without causing some trouble for Geithner's nomination. I do think this story has been planted by Republican congressional staff and somebody at Citi. And @3, where did you get those "stats" since I'd love to review your source.

    Dealbreaker has become a total wasteland since Carney departed. It now reads like a support group for the KKK. This is not what Wall Street is about, so I don't see this DB enterprise lasting much longer. It was sort of fun while it lasted.

    @14 You are a moron. What kind of business or investing are you in? I bet you are broke.
