Sounds like he was public enemy number one. We didn't have this many people looking for Bin Laden.

1. he was after wall street and bfee and loans to people who did not
qualify - there are several post over the last week that explains the government wanted to take him down because he was telling too much truth - unfortunately he was not clean which then allowed them to take him down and the rest of us to lose out on someone who was actually looking out for us

3. Yes, I read them.
But the extent to which the WH is willing to bend the law and use government agencies to do their dirty work is stunning. We need to detail all of it because I want these mother fuckers in jail.

2. After 9/11 and the Patriot Act, Treasury issued stringent new regulations
that required banks to look for unusual transactions related to terrorism. Then they added politicians to the list of suspects.

5. For a guy who busted
prostitution rings seems fitting. Guess he should have kept his dick in his pants.

Or not paid a hooker, while fucking around on his wife.
