"A Miami cop pulled someone over last month on a routine traffic stop, but the ensuing mess resulted in an internal investigation because it turns out the man this police officer pulled over was actually a higher-ranking officer in the same police department. Officer Marcel Jackson pulled over Lieutenant David Ramras and things got intense really quickly.

In a video captured on Jackson's GoPro camera, you can see them fighting and Jackson forcing Ramras to the ground. Other officers nearby run up to break the two of them up. Ramras angrily shouts, "Do you know who the fuck I am?" He then tells Jackson who he is.

Needless to say, things haven't turned out well for either of them. Jackson was relieved with pay, and Ramras has been reassigned. There is currently an investigation underway into the matter." *

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss the fact that when falling off a cliff, it is only the last few feet that hurt. They apply this to the collapsing US economy where they're going to fake manufacturing till they one day make it, but Max suggests that, just as you cannot taper a ponzi scheme, you cannot recalculate your way out of economic collapse. In the second half, Max interviews former CIA case officer and co-creator of the Marine Corps Intelligence Center, Robert David Steele, who has authored a new book, The Open Source Everything Manifesto: Transparency, Truth and Trust. They discuss anarchy, panarchy, true cost economics and Max asks whether crowd-sourced answers to national intelligence questions will be met with a military-style response similar to what happened to Kim Dotcom.

Pure Madness: Revenueless, Assetless CYNK Soars Over $5Bn; Bigger Than GameStop, Cablevision, Jabil Circuit

Well that escalated quickly... CYNK Technologies - which we first exposed to the world here - has gone from dumb to dumber. "Traders" just bid CYNK at $18.50 $20.32 this morning (on less than 100,000 shares) meaning this asset-less, revenue-less shell of exuberance now has a market cap over $5.4 $5.9 billion.

*snip*

That leaves CYNK more "valuable" than all of the following companies...

Undisputable Bubble Insanity: No Revenue, No Assets Company Up Over $1 Billion (+110%) Today On 57K Shares Traded

Update 2: CYNK closed up 150%, at an all time high of $14.70, a market cap well over $4 billion. Clearly there is much untapped upside left for the company with no assets or revenues.

Update: Stock is now $14/share, implying a market cap for the revenue/asset-free compah of over $4 billion. This means it has a market cap higher than Dynegy, Federal Mogul, JetBlue or Buffalo Wild Wings.



Just 2 days ago we highlighted the best example of the exuberance awash the markets currently - CYNK Technology Corp, the social media development company that had a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion, which according to official filings, had one employee, no website, no revenue, no product, and no assets.

Fast forward 2 days - and some 57,000 shares traded (about 0.02% of its total shares outstanding) at around $10 and CYNK now has a market cap approaching $3 billion (and still no revenue, no product, and no assets)... Lord Overstone said it best. “No warning can save people determined to grow suddenly rich.”

Chen Guangbiao. He's a Chinese playboy, multi-millionaire, rescue volunteer and on top of that - a global philanthropist. And he certainly knows his worth. According to Chen's business card - he's China's, quote 'most charismatic philanthropist', and the country's most beloved role model... that's amongst many, many other things.

In June, he coughed up thirty thousand dollars to a charity that said it was affiliated with the UN, and promised to give him another title. Imagine his surprise when he found out his certificate was from the United Nation... not the United Nation(s). Chen, had been duped. Unfortunately, he found little sympathy for his plight... given his own history of altruism, as Marina Portnaya explains.
