> link-bait title Oh FFS. Anything from Henry Blodget should immediately be ignored or delinked. The man bilked all sorts of money from widows and orphans (in the form of pensions and mutual funds). Most normal people would want to make amends before showing their face in public, let alone the way he punches up stories. I can't believe I fell for it too.

  This gives some good color to who's running Business Insider.

      Dangerous assumption. The title might only be a clever ruse. Personally I suspect it is a shadowy cabal of part time gooseberry farmers.

If Blodget really bilked money from widows and orphans (and I don't doubt it) how come he's not running a bank? Seems like the perfect item for the resume. Maybe he's just pissed-off because he was the sacrificial lamb for a lot of other widow-and-orphan-bilkers and wants to make his amends by bringing his old friends to some sort of reckoning?
