emit This is a profoundly systemic problem. Speaking metaphorically, throwing an occasional virgin to the Gods just ain't gonna do it. The entire regulatory system is corrupt. Only a concerted effort by the major media, some guts by a few powerful politicians and an aggressive investigation and prosecution by the Justice Dept. will bring down this house of cards. IF the SEC will cooperates, they'll do so only while being dragged, kicking and screaming all the way. Failing that, these criminals will continue raping investors with impunity. I've emailed practically all of the TV media outlets challenging them to do an investigative expose' on naked shorting. This is Pulitzer Prize territory but, for some reason, nobody has touched it. After all, much of the grunt work has been done for them already. Makes you wonder how far this conspiracy has spread, doesn't it?
