Gave him a dime bag?

What he did was a fundamental violation of his fiduciary responsibility to the people of the United States.

Republican party: "Why, hello Mr. Demos! You're our kind of people!"

English please! What in the world does that mean?

"Where do the Republicans find these candidates?"

People may be well advised to consider the long term considerations within the republican party. As with the supreme court, federal courts and many other government agencies, the insidious, determined infiltration of "operatives" is established and ongoing. In time, the whole works will be completely out of the hands of democratic process.

Soon we'll have the faux pundits gushing about how moist he makes their panties.

Wasn't morgan stanley bailed out?

So he blew the whistle

On someone who blew the whistle

On morgan stanley's shenanigans

That cost tax payers money?

Why do I smell the first corporate party candidate?

..

I have a sneaking suspicion that one of the first law's he'll help pass, is one like the Texas Cattlemen had, so that one can get sued for libel for bad-mouthing his industry.

"Hey, I didn't get my free toaster for opening a new account!"

"You're under arrest."

Him and harold ford. A great one two punch

A bio says that he "handled some of the SEC's most significant investigations," including that of Ponzi scheme artist Bernard Madoff, and "worked tirelessly on the cases that never made the headlines."

******************************************************************

Let's remember that the pieces of information in a story which have -- perhaps conveniently -- been left out are sometimes the most important ones and make all the difference in the world.

It's been reported that even as far back as 1999, people (such as Harry Markopolos) were contacting the SEC to voice their concerns about what Bernie Madoff was doing -- and the SEC was investigating him even further back than that in 1992. So how is it that Madoff managed to escape getting caught for eighteen years?? There's every reason to believe that if his own sons had not turned him in, Madoff Investment Securities would probably be alive and well today. Even the SEC itself admitted that it had completely dropped the ball, which it acknowledged in the following statement:

"A thorough and competent investigation was never performed."

Note the wording, because it may be important...it does not say that the SEC never investigated Madoff, because they did (and even if they hadn't, they would never have dared admit it publicly). It says that he was never investigated as thoroughly and competently as he should have been. So, here's the $250,000 question (or in Washington terms, more like the $250,000,000 question). To which SEC investigation of Madoff is Demos referring?? If he's referring to any of the investigations which took place prior to December of 2008 when Madoff was arrested, Demos should hardly be boasting about this! (Or is he perhaps simply hoping that the good people of Long Island are too stupid to realize that and/or too apathetic to care?) Madoff pled guilty to securities fraud just over four months after his arrest in March of 2009. Is that really enough time for the SEC to have conducted a thorough investigation...the kind which they should have conducted years ago?? If the Madoff investigation to which Demos is referring took place before 2008, then it suggests that perhaps Demos is nowhere nearly as competent as he presents himself to be.
