We're thinking about the time Wall Street banks colluded on rigging prices on the Nasdaq market; or the time they rigged their research
departments and told us to buy
stocks that they were secretly callings dogs and crap; or the time they got S&P and Moody's to give them triple - A ratings on subprime pools of debt while keeping it a secret that they had internal reports showing the
loans didn't meet their origination standards — and then they went out and secretly shorted that debt while continuing to sell it to their customers as a good investment.
