I think that says more about you than anything else. If the investigators had left the whle thing alone, wouldn't you have been wondering why nobody was bothering to investigate murder and violent crime against minorities? Sorry, pal, but this is one case where the stereotypical response you gave has no standing whatsoever. As Eric pointed out, the rich white men have been on the run a bit lately themselves, not that insider trading compares to murder on any day. 2747@blogcritics.org Thu, 9 Jan 2003 08:21:15 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/01/05/175243.php#comment-2703 Urias, This would appear to be a little more systematic than taking a little money from a few friends - "murder, money-laundering, gun charges and a variety of strong-arm tactics" seems a little more serious than questionable funds. And balck and white have nothing to do with it - there have ben plenty of Wall Street indictments lately also. 2703@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Jan 2003 15:48:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/01/05/175243.php#comment-2700 The spoils of war. What a cliche. People did not expect a few young men from a rough part of NYC to succeed, that is evident. The shocking part of this all is the ignorance of the public to understand a simple word used in everyday language; family. To many young men growing up your family are the individuals you trust and are loyal to, most of the time outside of your immediate family. If Irv took money to finacnce a few ventures from a friend a close buddy, why the confusion. Consider how many illegal trades occur in a days time on the floor of the NYSE. But then again those guys are white. So I guess we must reconsider. 2700@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Jan 2003 14:45:28 EST
