Uhhh, where exactly did you get this from? It's terrific, don't get me wrong, just wondering.

Wasn't Max Keiser writing articles a year (or more) before LEH went bk about its peek-a-boo accounting fraud? Why yes, he was. Guess Charlie didn't get the memo. Or can't read.

Read a few fat chunks of Tony Valukas' bankruptcy report. The repo 105 stuff is great, but the most hilarious thing was Geithner and his stress tests. That Geithner would trot out that glue-factory nag as Treasury Secretary of the United States of America after seeing it get absolutely creamed in consecutive races just before as head of FRBNY... wtf?

Ummm, I have been severely reprimanded for my lack of transparency in failing to disclose that I am a former law partner of Tony Valukas. I left Jenner & Block late last year to work for--free of charge and then some--the only political candidate with any hope whatsoever of turning this rapidly sinking ship around, Mike Jankovich.

He's running for 43rd Ward Alderman in Chicago. Chances are you've been there--Lincoln Park, Old Town, northwest tip of the Gold Coast.

Janko's a boxer who went undefeated in his pro career, fighting one to a draw. He's also a regular guy and a friend who's helped me out before, which is why I backed him.

Chicago politics are far worse than you've been led to believe. Just getting Janko on the ballot was a "miracle," according to his own election attorney (not me).
