Then, truth is stranger than fiction in this case given what happened to Cantor in September 2001.
Yes, Cantor Fitzgeral lost 648 employees that day, about 90% of the workforce. I remember the CEO, Howard Lutnick crying on TV about the 700 families of the victims.
Four days after the attacks he stopped all 648 wages.
The ironies are **thick** here. Not only the Cantor Fitzgeral <-> 9/11 link, but also consider the fact that the inability of GAW to launch paybase and the honor program was allegedly due to KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations that were put in place post 9/11 in order to prevent investment banks and private equity from inadvertently laundering terrorists' money.
Really, when a rich middle eastern playboy wants to buy millions of dollars of a brand new alt-coin no questions asked .. well you know red flags should be waiving all over.
