Harry, please work at the SEC - clearly they need more people like you!

From your lips to Obama's ears. He is obviously smart enough and honest enough.

What more do we need ?

Didn't Harry say FINRA and Schapiro were too corrupt to go to about Madoff?

He did, when he testified before Congress.

Now someone got to him.

What a shame that a man of integrity like Markopoulus is now putting lipstick on Mary Schapiro.

The woman is a fraud, and she cares nothing about investors. If she did, the NASD/FINRA, which she ran for 12 years, would not have leaked all over the rights of individual investors, belittling their claims to protect the scums of the industry.

Oh, Harry, what happened?

you will succeed because people are behind; the scumbags will be dealt with once and for all.
