He looks mighty troubled in that photo. Like what Tom Cruise would look like if he wasn't buoyed by Scientology and lunacy.

Couldn't agree more Bock. It's the bank's responsibility. It's the systems they use and their greed that causes this kind of thing to happen. They are just making a scape goat out of this guy. (the amount shouldn't matter, if this guy commited a crime because of the loses that came about from his wagering then with that logic any broker is potentially a criminal)

Yeah, listening to the news today I couldn't help thinking: "If I was a financial institution and I had, err, screwed the pooch, so to speak, how would I make huge losses more palatable to the public and investors?" Hmmmm.
