MARKET SCAMS

[thepennyking]

I think GW should send over some of his boys to have a nice little chat with me and offer me about $2 billion to keep my mouth and mouse shut...I'd accept it and go retire and never post another bit of evidence ever again... promise...

BTW...this is about market scams...

in a short interview with George Soros who at the time was a part owner of Harken. Corn asked, "can I ask you about some ancient history? . . What was the deal with Harken buying up Spectrum 7? Soros answered, I didn't know him. He was supposed to bring in the Gulf connection. But it didn't come to anything. We were buying political influence. That was it. He was not much of a businessman.

So it looks like Bush and Soros have crossed paths before. Soros got busted by the French for securities trading on insider information not too long ago.

What a world we live in...
