SEC Shredded Documents; Earthquake Hits DC! 8.23.11
Just a heads-up today about Matt Taibbi’s Rolling Stone article on the SEC (the American people’s intrepid ‘enforcer’ against crime and fraud on Wall Street–puh!), shredding documents from their ‘investigations’ into Wall Street fraud and crime such as the Bernie Madoff case and others.
