This morning, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government Sponsored Enterprises is holding a hearing to assess the alleged $50 billion investment fraud engineered by Mr. Bernard L. Madoff. This is the second in a series of hearings that will help to guide the work of the Financial Services Committee and the Capital Markets Subcommittee in the 111th Congress in undertaking the most substantial rewrite of the laws governing the U.S. financial markets since the Great Depression. Rep. Gary Ackerman questioned witnesses from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The SEC is a major fraud and congress should have revoked the SEC’s decision to allow the short sellers remove liquidity from the bid prices. The SEC are all being paid off to put the power into the hands of their contributers. they are a FRAUD and must be abolished before they trigger world war 3.

    @triplexxxsatyr He is just trying to make points with voters back home. Where was he and all the rest of the Congessmen??? I think there are more criminals per capita in Congress than in the general public. What did he actually do???

    Tax payers need to …
    Tax payers need to start by firing everyone in Congress. Fire everyone in the state legislatures. Fire everyone at the local level. How else can you believe that your investments are safe. We now know, at every level, no one gave a about your 401(k) retirement funds savings college funds etc.. Maybe we’re just too stupid to survive. Listen to these guys preach. What have they actually done?

    I can only imagine what the SEC new about Goldman Sachs and completely ignored. Oh but now they are trumping the alarms. The SEC was seduced by the free flowing money of the boom markets just as much as the large financial institutions. All of this really reveals the reality that too many people are too easily seduced by money. Large and small, educated or not.

    The little Madoff shop was allowed to stay open because it might uncover the real can of worms

    These dip-shits that call themselves the SEC comes before a U.S. congressional hearing…. to do what? to say what? NOTHING but more SHIT!!

    I’m telling you folks, as I’m writing this, I’m here wondering if these are actually the people that are tasked with protecting the investing public, not just in America, but WORLDWIDE from crooks like Madoff, and if they are, God help us!

    Sometimes it’s best to BE SILENT – I will say that I’m not ‘outraged’ at all – Ofcourse I speak for myself … however, if it’s hatred you want, I give you my love. PEACE. Mr. Ackermund is a truly gifted speaker. We must thank him. <3* I’m not tempted to judge any one . Thank you. – I’ll stick to music, this has nothing to do with me. Take care, everyone. Anger ‘solves’ – nothing…
