SEC Pays Gary Aguirre Big Sum, but More Cleansing Needed
Hat's off to Gary Aguirre not only for a job well done, but also for the tenacity to stay the course. But what about the biggest fish of all, the infamous John J Mack?! Mack got away with thievery and remains free as a bird; free to continue operating the slippery way he always has! And what about the obviously-corrupted management team - a phrase I use very loosely - that deliberately blocked Gary Aguirre at every pass? Why haven't these thugs been dealt with? This reeks of corruption and is clearly unacceptable! With this sort of cover-up crap happening high up within the primary regulatory agency formed to supposedly prevent such garbage; is it any wonder why the public now correctly perceives Wall Street as the sewerage system it is? Also, we should all be asking these important and relevant questions: Why is Gary Aguirre receiving only a paltry $ 755,000 when the SEC walked away with a cool $ 28 million that it never would have seen a dime of had it not been for his efforts? And, what about the $ 19 million or so that Pequot Capital Management made trading on insider knowledge of the GE Capital-Heller Financial merger; knowledge illegally provided by crooked tipper John J Mack? Mary Shapiro, if after this mess you still do not believe it is necessary to CLEAN HOUSE, then in the opinion of this seasoned observer you should promptly step down!
