Yet another regulatory B-L-U-N-D-E-R! Not only was the SEC turning the other way, but they were sleeping with the enemy.
This has the familiar ring of the US Department of Interior enjoying the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll binge paid for by the folks they were regulating!

Yet another ritzy retreat from the dipsh#ts over at AIG. This one was only $86,000, versus the last $400,000 trip to California.
Way to go, guys. Maybe these idiots can start paying for things themselves! Make them give up their undeserved bank accounts to the Fed.

All I can say, is WTF? AIG’s execs drove a massive company into the ground – so much that the Fed stepped in – then they take a $400,000 golf retreat.
They said it’s common to reward the top 5-10% sales performers, but I ask, what did they sell? Must have been the sale of a taxpayer-funded bailout.

Senator Levin is holding out a club to banks engaging in “abusive” practices.

Opinion: It’s about time we give the consumers a carrot. After congress changed the bankruptcy laws to shield lenders from write-offs, credit card companies have been going all-out to get consumers on board the “debt train”. Their charges do not reflect the benefits voted in by congress, and now more than ever, it seems like most credit card offers include a clause stating the lender can change the rates or terms of the agreement for any reason, at any time. What’s the point of the cardmember “agreement” if it does not have to be honored by the issuing company? Come congress – you gave the card companies what they wanted, now it’s time to protect the consumers whos rights you revoked.
