Reuters:

An investor lawsuit contends that Citigroup Inc insiders, including senior counselor and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, sold more than $150 million of their own shares at inflated prices while concealing the bank's true financial health.

The allegations were made in a nearly 500-page court complaint filed by shareholders who are suing the bank for fraud related to its disclosures over mortgage-linked securities. The complaint was filed late Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Robert Rubin should be in handcuffs. At least Summers went into academia. Rubin went straight to Citi and perpetrated one of the biggest frauds in history.

Whatever they did not get thru securities fraud and insider trading, they will be getting from their customers thru 30% interest rate on CITI Credit cards. Its a Win Win Situation! Get ready for their sob story. Maybe another $307 Billion (Bridge Loan) would fix their problem.

The extent of the swindle and fraud will not be fully uncovered until their is honest accounting of the full extent of the bankrupted condition of our financial institutions generally and other conglomerates specifically.

And to think that Robert Rubin oversaw the staffing of Obama's economic team, all of which arose from the ranks of the vaunted CFR (aka The Rockefeller Shadow Government)!

I was at a jury duty not too long ago where a young lady walked out of a store with a small item under 40 dollars. Martha Stuart was jailed for trading 4 thousand shares. But those guys who pocketed trillions are getting the subsidy from the taxpayers. It is too bad Obama gave support and the power to waste the public money to Geithner.

and the culprits will conveniently die like Kenny Boy at Enron just before court appearances and later found drinking umbrella drinks in Fiji with Ken.
