The guy's a forensic economist, for Pete's sake, who investigated and prosecuted the Savings and Loans frauds of the late 80s and early 90s. You must have heard of it. If not, read this:

Know your BFEE: They Looted Your Nation’s S&Ls for Power and Profit

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Octafish/235

And when you get a moment, read up on what he said about the great Wall Street bailout and what's needed to prevent it from happening again, as well as for prosecuting the guilty:

The Two Documents Everyone Should Read to Better Understand the Crisis

That was three years ago. I bet Professor Black has had a lot to say since then about the Wall Street-Washington axis of weasels.

You know, after reading your post, I can understand why you were banned from Kos.
