    It is so amazing what white collar crooks can get away with.

    I remember that well.

    Oddly enough my father was offered the position of running the new mine after it was to be built. I asked him why he turned it down and he said it was because they only pulled about 10% of the normal amount of core samples you would normally do for such a claim. You have to wonder why all the analyst's and brokers who underwrote and pumped that stock were not imprisoned as well. But then again, we would need a whole new prison just for wall street whores.
