  • Online Hijacking Defendants Agree to Pay $1.33 Million to Settle SEC Market Manipulation Case

  • Convicted Fraudster Charged With Using Hotel-Scam Funds to Pay Prior Victims

  • Former J.P. Morgan Banker James Hertz Pleads Guilty to Municipal Bond Bid Rigging
  • Then there was this really, really bizarre video posted on my pal Josh Brown's "Reformed Broker" website. I was figuring that, hey, what the hell, how about I just post the video (you know, like steal it from Josh but take all the credit)?  Then I realized it was the holiday season and all and who the hell wants to screw around with that Karma, right? So, instead of taking all the credit, I've done the right thing (someone pinch me here, did I just say that I did the right thing?) and here's the link to Josh's site.  Trust me (says the lawyer).

    You MUST watch this video.

    HINT: It's an amazing, disturbing, freakish version of the Beatles' "Let It Be"
