...essence of my scheme was that I represented to clients and prospective clients who wished to open investment advisory and individual trading accounts with me that I would invest their money in shares of common stock, options and other securities of large well-known corporations, and upon request, would return to them their profits and principal. Those representations were false because for many years up and until I was arrested on December 11, 2008, I never invested those funds in the securities, as I had promised. Instead, those funds were deposited in a bank account at Chase Manhattan Bank. When...

People make extensive plans for Christmas, for vacations, weddings and holidays, but they put very little planning into their...
...banks, bond investors ought to be the ones who enforce it by withholding their cash from the bad apples - and paying the price for misjudgments. Plus, a few concessions from creditors could ease the burden on taxpayers dramatically. If Citi's $486 billion in wholesale debt were converted into common shares - admittedly a pretty extreme solution - the company's balance-sheet woes would evaporate. Which is why these arguments have been gaining in popularity. "I think it's very important that the creditors in this crisis take a hit," said New York University finance professor Matthew Richardson...
