Here's an old article (the link isn't available to non-subscribers) that I saved because I owned some Global Crossing. It still pisses me off that the CEO isn't in jail.
Ustwo is right though. This should be in politics.

Funny thing about the "blind trusts"... people assume that means they have no knowledge of investments or performance. It just means investmenst "decisions" are made without prior knowledge, but GW and DC each know exactly what stocks they own and the performance of said stocks. Believe me, I know that money is the one bi-partisn thing in D.C., and if you are a politician you have stashed your share of money. It just strikes me odd that this is not more appropriately handled.
