Reader Request

If the moderator or admin wants to starts a new thread (as I don’t know how to do a new posting header as a title, but I would recommend that everyone just put in their two cents (no pun intended) and fire away to file your thoughts, concerns, madness to Mr. Brian Ross, the ABC Investigative reporter, I bet he would have no problems going face-to-face with Walter and his boys and partner in crime, Horowitz.

Anyways, everyone post up to Brian Ross’s e-mail request, someone mention the suicide that took place due to the Ng’s activities. I’m not an investor nor know of anyone personally, I just happen to catch this website via the TV news.

Here you go, write to Mr. Ross: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/mailform?id=13942252

If you all took the few minutes to read my posting, please take another few minutes to voice yourself to Mr. Ross.

The Tax Man Cometh

He’ll be here soon.

Many need to figure out their strategy.  Write off your losses, some of your losses or do nothing?

It’s been relatively quiet here lately after the MF ’08 news dropped and someone decided to fling some insults at me.  It’s okay, it’s all part of the game.  I’m just glad there’s something happening at the government level.  I wish MORE were happening (hint, hint FBI), but this is a good start.  I’m not sure anything can trigger a recovery of more than a few pennies on the dollar and I don’t think we’ll see 100 cents on the dollar – ever – but we’ll all take what we can get given the injustice that has been dropped on us like a pigeon from an overhead wire.

May the good graces of luck deliver good news for us and horrible news for the Ngs.

Cross your fingers and keep dialing the FBI.  They’ll listen one of these days.

p.s. What do you think Phil Tagami and Len Epstein are up to right now?  They got their money out.  So did Eddie Orton (some of it at least).  So did the McGah Family Trust.  The rich get richer, apparently, and they get away with it.

Barney Ng

This blog has received a lot of feedback on the Barney issue, both positive and negative.  We took a hard-line stance that this blog should remain civil – as civil as possible given the highly charged, emotional nature of the state of our union.  Long story short, we not only appreciate the feedback many have provided, but we are willing to rethink the hard-line stance on the Barney discussion.

As such, please utilize this space to discuss Barney’s role in this fiasco.

Is he innocent?

Should he be given a hall pass because he may likely be aiding the investigation if not the legal battles being waged?

Do you even care as long as some of the other conspirators are brought to justice?

We’ve all invested a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of heartache into the Bar-K scandal.  It’s ugly and it’s likely only going to get uglier before it (hopefully) gets any better.

Use this thread as a place to discuss Barney’s role in our plight.  Civil discussion only shall be permitted and John Robie shall be the arbiter.

Fire away….
