I'll shut up.

I don't want to actually slander someone.

Even without corporate/institutional database searches, one can still find phone numbers, police records, business filings, marriage records, addresses, etc. All public information. All searching the internet in just a few minutes.

But I think I've said enough about this topic. A curious investor will figure out where to look.

What's more interesting is the level of risk tolerance by investors. I've been thinking a lot about this and, similar to Wall Street, the psychology seems akin to gambling. One of the reasons I find Wall Street so fascinating----but also why I hate working with Wall Street firms----is because the gambling mentality that is so pervasive there feigns investment. I've spent many a night in Macau, Vegas, and Monaco, but at least in those places they're honest and upfront about the risk. But Wall Street and the various 'bonds' on this forum? Those high rates don't come from nothing.
