Don't forget the investment bankers behind wcom and all other nightmares on
wall st.  You don't think employees do this by themselves?  When I heard the
head of Goldman saying a week or two back thast corporate US needed a bit
more moral fibre I fell off my chair.

Lets see. How many flybynight rubbish internet stocks which got ramped did
Goldman and it's subsids buy into and sell out at 200 x purchase?

Chairman and MD of EVERY bank which advised WCOM, Enron, et al, should be
locked up and keys thrown away.  No cushy, sell out deals cut by snakeoil
lawyers that shaft shareholders.

Lock'em up, send em to Guantanamo Bay.
