      2008 proved you wrong for the one's that had what the parent referred to. Confess to crimes and crash economy results in $1 trillion bailout, no audits, some fines, and criminal immunity. Doesn't happen every day in industry.

          Their schemes have been working most of the time since creation of the Fed with usable currency and international uptake. Using Bitcoin for its intended purpose is like gambling.

Now you know who they are. We've been able to figure ghe stuff out. Why still these problems? Cuz few give a shit or do anything. If that remains, we screwed in long-term. ;)
