– From “Front and Center”, by C. Austin Burrell –
I have watched the conduct of a figurative nest of journalists/bloggers/bashers/critics in a series of attacks on the targets of short raids many times over the past 15 years. The questions that never seem to be answered are the most basic? How do these parties pay their bills? Who is paid or not paid to the benefit of what organization, entity, or agency? If you think so many man hours could be devoted completely pro bono to analysis of mostly small companies balance sheets and management, I encourage you to look deeper.
I have watched the unrelenting attacks against companies who have dared to challenge these self-described vermin in the Courts. Without exception, the same attackers’ names appear repeatedly in such a consistent pattern that it cannot be a random occurrence. I have seen the work of internet sleuths tracking the patterns of relationships between these journalists and notorious market manipulators, including everyone from major hedge funds, to a community of professional journalists, unpaid web site and message board bloggers, compensated bashers, criminal rigged research organizations, and eventually to the federal agencies we depend on for oversight of our markets and the manipulators to regularly savage our assets.
The question “Quo Bene?” is older than our society. Thousands of years ago, corruption was cited that was tracked back to its sources by the simple method of looking first at who benefitted from the acts of corruption. This was true from Egypt, to Greece, to Rome, to modern times. The “contracts” between these parties track to not only involved cash considerations, but also to professional support, school access for related parties, legal partnerships, and more. Predation consumes assets as its cost of doing business, and those assets must come from some source.
Why haven’t those in charge asked these questions? Indeed, the SEC and FINRA have protected their related external supporting parties to this predation from any fair, open and balanced inquiry hundreds of times over the past decade. Why is this so? [entire post]
