Born into a Big 5 investment banking family, I quit organized financial racketeering to go straight. MacDougal Irving is my Blogger Protection Identity, and I am a retired Certified Public Accountant and, like all of us, a badly misinformed investor. These are my observations on capital market cons as they were explained to me across the dinner table as a kid.

The piece on the website linked below, written a while back by Jeff Nielson, discusses a treatment of today's Wall Street Crime Families as a single "super-entity" with fascinating ramifications if this is indeed the way society should be looking at them. We can find no reason to fault Jeff's reasoning or the work he cites. Interestingly, if the Families truly are "tentacles of this enormous crime syndicate", implementing a new accounting system for their illicit operations to produce the kind of reports required by the conclusions here would seem to meet generally accepted accounting principles.
