Your Chance To Catch Incompetence Personified Live As Mary Schapiro Testifies Before The FCIC

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Don't forget, the FCIC panel continues today with Sheila Bair, Lanny Breuer, Eric Holder and, somehow, Mary Schapiro talking. How the last person on this list is considered an expert in any topic is the only issue that should be debated. At least being away from her 80286-based "enforcement-special" mainframe, justifies the lack of an SEC response on the ESH0 incident. Granted, nobody expects the SEC to opine on blatant market manipulation when the profits made are more than a few thousand dollars.

Live hearing can be found here.

The only thing that could be more embarrassing than her simply opening her mouth would be if she walked in with toilet paper stuck to her high heels.  FRN toilet paper.

That's hot. Are they "used" FRN toilet paper notes or are they freshly minted, still wet and crisp notes?

Just asking. I want to modify (er...improve) my custom "fathead" poster of Chair Bair.

The incompetence of the people supposedly running the country is a mystery.  Are these really the best that the United States could find?

 

But to solve the mystery think about who would benefit from these people being incompetent and/or corrupt.

 

Or to put it another way, if you wanted to rob a bank and you could influence the hiring of the security guard, would you push for a bright, motivated alert guard, or some old half deaf, half blind codger?

Gubmint employees simply memorize and implement the playbook strategies as dictated by the elected masters they serve. A work history of previously undiscovered corruption and deviousness are supplemental qualifications for consideration in appointments to these positions........and a confirmed background of never wandering off the reservation is the most valuable qualification of all.

They are the best sock puppets the United States can find. It's a tough job. After all, how long would you tolerate a finger (er.....an entire hand up to the elbow) up your a** while smiling for the cameras?

Did I miss the SEC's findings/actions on the New York Community Bank options matter?

 

perhaps it was a "fat finger".....

of course for the bright, motivated alert guard so that he can help to properly execute the theft in case there is a policeman driving by. Is not that obvious? Just look who is the guard now. Is it the "old half deaf, half blind codger" one or "bright, motivated alert guard" one?

THANK you for saying this...was hoping it wasnt just me!

Is Romer the most horrifying spectacle to watch or what?! She has this shytt-eating grin on her face the entire time she is answering the most serious of questions regarding her or the government's competency. Like it is so clear she knows she is in wayyyy over her head and is just spewing crappp, and she just knows she is going to be called out.

Romer is hands-down the WORST spokesperson for credibility I have ever seen.

We might as well trot in Jessica Simpson. There is no difference between her and Shapiro, only I suppose Jessica has the added benefit of being hot to look at.

Here is what time it is....

It is time to separate govt. from corp....

The SEC...

S ecure
E mployee
C ompenation

Legal largesse is a big problem....and needs to be
dramatically reduced....

Solution...

"All in the open" defragmented....fully electronic direct
access exchange....RETAIL oriented....

Both RETAIL and NON-RETAIL must perform ALL TRANSACTIONS on
the exchange...no dark pools etc...

This form of securities business would be easy to supervise....

............................

And MOST IMPORTANTLY the revolving door of govt. to corp.
must be shut down....

A person has a choice....but cannot cross over....

Pay must be attractive enough for the willing....

Was she asked why the SEC granted AIG a confidential treatment request that hid the exhibit that showed the bailout of GS and others?  Was she asked why that document is being granted confidentiality until 2018????

A while back I did some contract work at NASD for Mary Schapiro's group. She is a Class A B****. She and her group of entirely women were one nasty group. They would hire men to do the work because their countless attempts at hiring female programmers who could actually write code that could handle millions of transaction per second failed. The men were scared shitless to open their mouths. We had to sit and listen to them complain and if we said a word, we had our heads chopped off. We had to treat her like she was the Queen of England.

If that nasty lesbo man hater loses her job today, it will be too soon.

I used to work for her. And all I can say is that I concur completely. The B word could never do this woman justice. It would be the understatement of the CENTURY.

Thank you! High praise coming from you.

Here and there, I'll crack em and the crickets chirp.

For instance, someone was was posting about Obama being in Hawaii when something was going on. They were (if memory serves me) asking what was keeping him in Hawaii when he should be dealing with the event.

I posted this as an answer:

and this:

Am I bad, or just too esoteric?

You people just don't understand what Mary's job is. She clearly has a "to do list" of targets that the administration wants her to investigate. But her main job is to block investigation of many of the flags that we are all raging against. It's quite clear that if parties at 33 liberty street or 85 Broad st. are "doing Gods work" the last thing you want is an SEC investigation.

And as far as I can tell she's doing a pretty good job at what she was appointed to do.

On the other hand we need some show trials for the people who appointed her.

Happy New Year -- But Not to You, Aurora Loan Services

Happy New Year. Wish me a happy anniversary, too. I'm celebrating the first anniversary of my effort to modify my mortgage through Aurora Loan Services.

You are going to see a lot of this post in the near future, because I'm going to cross-post it everywhere until I find someone who knows someone in Aurora Loan Services or its regulator. I've never wanted to bring a company down before, but I do now.

I wasn't quite angry enough until last week, when I read an article in the Times that made me realize I was not an isolated case, but an example of a widespread and apparently deliberate policy on the part of this particular servicer to deny homeowners programs the government has sought to extend, even though failing to extend these programs helps no one but Aurora itself.

Ms Schapiro.... I only have one question for you.... What the fuck were you doing at NASD/FINRA while all this was going on? We know you set up an arbitration board to deny investors their Constitutional right to due process of law and protection of their property. i would just like to know what other Fascist functions you participated in, besides the public gang rape of individual traders and investors.
