Anyone who believes in "Corporate Self Policing" (as the GOP Party does) is mentally ill or criminals. The GOP literally goes on TV and speaks law enforcement, rules/regs should be removed and go to "Corporate Self Policing". Why r the AIPAC Dems so incompetent?

Putting a face to the crime. Instead of using proprietary tech, he paid cybercriminals for decryption keys & charged clients >the ransom amts—he made $19M off clients & paid $8M to hackers. He took a victim’s crisis, turned it into his own profit machine & he did very little work. Sounds familiar.

A Florida CEO was indicted for fraud you say? Well that CEO will be Florida’s next governor and then senator. That’s what the FL voters did for mega-fraudster Rick Scott!

Sometimes I think nearly everyone in America is a bottom-dwelling con man, because they see how easy it is for the orange blob to grift billions and figure they can do the same. After the last two years, I trust no one anymore, and that's sad.
