Mark Pittman Remembered: The Man Who Fought The Fed

The Supreme court issued a victory for Mark Pittman.

Video - Bloomberg News reporter Mark Pittman was the first person to stand up and take on the Federal Reserve.  He died Nov. 25, 2009, at the age of 52.

This seems an appropriate time to honor the man who started the effort.

Mark Pittman isn't through just yet.

His suit against the Fed went his way. At this point, the only question is whether SCOTUS will grant cert. If not, it is open season on dear Benjamin.

Place your bets on SCOTUS.

@Cheyenne

Hope The Supremes deny cert...and let the fun begin...

RIP, Mark. We'll get there.
