Only We Do Not Have a "WASHED UP ATTORNEY".
The Verdict
1982
A washed-up, ambulance-chasing attorney (Paul Newman) gets a chance at redemption when his friend (Jack Warden) tosses him an open-and-shut medical malpractice case. But instead of accepting an easy cash settlement, he takes the powerful defendant to court. James Mason plays the opposing counsel, whom his legal adversary calls "The Prince of Darkness," in this courtroom drama from director Sidney Lumet.

NEW YORK – A former Wall Street titan was convicted Wednesday of making a fortune by coaxing a crew of corporate tipsters to give him an illegal edge on blockbuster trades in technology and other stocks — what prosecutors called the largest insider trading case ever involving hedge funds.
Raj Rajaratnam was convicted of five conspiracy counts and nine securities fraud charges at the closely watched trial in federal court in Manhattan. The jury had deliberated since April 25, and at one point was forced to start over again when one juror dropped out due to illness.
Prosecutors had alleged the 53-year-old Rajaratnam made profits and avoided losses totaling more than $60 million from illegal tips. His Galleon Group funds, they said, became a multibillion-dollar success at the expense of ordinary stock investors who didn't have advance notice of the earnings of public companies and of mergers and acquisitions.
Rajaratnam will remain free on bail, though now with electronic monitoring, at least until his July 29 sentencing

The true story behind the collapse of Washington Mutual
Posted Dec 16th 2009 2:30PM by Connie Madon
Filed under: Insiders, Market Matters, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Financial Crisis
Washington Mutual (WaMu) was the largest savings and loan company in the country. It was seized by the government in September 2008 and sold to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) for a piddling $1.9 billion dollars.
Now the company wants to investigate discussions between JPMorgan Chase, regulators,competitors and rating agencies it said led to the seizure of Washington Mutual according to a filing in bankruptcy court.
It alleges misconduct on the part of Morgan by "disclosing confidential information" in violation of the confidentially agreement to government regulators, rating agencies, media and investors in an effort to harm WAMU by driving down WAMU's credit rating and stock price.
It cites an internal JP Morgan email it said shows that a week before WAMU was seized the bank's executives were contacted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp regarding the interest in WAMU.
In a separate suit,the American National Insurance Co. is suing JP Morgan for its losses. American National said that Morgan used former Morgan employees who went to work for WAMU as part of a plan to acquire WAMU.
If you remember the movie "All the President's Men," the message from "deep throat" was "follow the money." What is not in either suit is whether JP Morgan had any "naked short sales" of WAMU or any "short sales" of WAMU. With Morgan's firepower, it would have been easy to take the stock down. Regulators must be forced to answer this question. Naked short sales were responsible, in part, for the downfall of financial companies. If you look at Lehman Brothers, there were 38 million naked short sales of that stock and no one has bothered to find out who the naked short sellers were. If the truth were known, we could unravel much of the "behind the scenes" goings on during the financial meltdown.
Should regulators be forced to name the naked short sellers during the financial meltdown?

Many men and women have done amazing DD on WAMU and I am truly greatful to you all. I can't believe we will not prevail in the long run. We all new the battle was coming at us around the corner. Corruption has gone deep into our government. We must continue to hold our ground win or lose. I lost my home 3 years ago and everything i owned in the witch creek fire, been a quadraplegic viet nam vet now for 40 years and I'm still working to help make this a better world. I will not quit now, Wamu was stolen and the forces of evil must pay to make this right........

Re:Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. v. Texas Instruments
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Not every lawsuit is won. Even those won do not always leave us winners. Be a winner. Hire Steve Susman.
Steve defended Texas Instruments in a lawsuit filed by the electronics giant Samsung in Fort Bend County, Texas. He won the lawsuit and made TI a winner. TI was a winner for two reasons. First, although Samsung sued TI for over $600 million, it ended up losing that claim and agreeing to pay TI over $1 billion. Secondly, the case was filed, litigated and tried before a jury in the space of only seven months.
The latter achievement I consider to be the more significant. The Susman Godfrey firm is a textbook example of efficient litigation. It is efficient because the firm has young aggressive lawyers who have been taught to waste no time on nonessential issues, unnecessary discovery disputes or procedural swamps. Faster is cheaper. While the firm's billing rates are as high as most other excellent firms, the overall cost was much lower than TI has experienced in other similar lawsuits.
If you have to try a case, why not enjoy the experience? Steve is a veteran trial lawyer whose energy level and enthusiasm for winning will not leave you chewing your nails at night. He is a delight to work with in the heat of battle, and has an awesome courtroom presence.
Very truly yours,

Wamuvoodoo,
Thanks for the great e-mail you sent me. You should be proud of your uncle and his bravery. And I want to thank you and all the longs for their DD and great posts. You have all stood up against the giants of evil and stayed the course. Win or loose we have all done the right thing and will be able to sleep well at night. We know pride goes before a fall and believe me, both the FDIC and JPM will reap what they sow. Faithful to the end....Semper Fi my brother! God Bless!!

Quote Of The Year:
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
