Mr.Ben S. Bernanke Would Like To Wire You Some Money (From Nigeria)
With Chairsatan Ben's days at the Fed officially numbered, it seems some enterprising Nigerian businessmen have already found a new (and far more reputable many would say) position for the man who never once in his Chairman tenure initiated a tightening cycle, and single-handedly exploded the Fed's balance sheet over threefold.

Aside for the glaring inaccuracy in the Chairman's title, one which will be wrong on more counts than one come January, perhaps the Nigerian scammers have accidentally stumbled on the next "strategy" to be unleashed by the Fed: not NGDP targeting, not forward guidance, but direct bank wires of "inheritances" and other sundry reserve transfers from the Federal Reserve, in real currency, preferably in the millions, to any and every US citizen with an email account.
Because with ever louder laments that the Fed has failed to stimulate every economist's so much beloved inflation (in everything but asset, energy, food, education and medical prices), has failed to generate the wealth effect except for the wealthiest 0.01%, has failed to disintermediate the banks from the inflationary and monetary pipeline, is there really any better way to provide fiat injections to everyone than by unsolicited email, with scammy intent or otherwise?

LOL...
Beats Yahoo, that identity-less web "portal". WTF is yahoo anyway? What do they make? How do they contribute to GDP?
Thought so.
Dear Ben
You don't have the nuts to print like Smellen Yellen, sit back and watch the bitch print. Adios Motherfucker.
Looks legit. :D
so, we'll see Ben heading to darker pastures...
does this mean i wont get the money? i thought this was a new stimulus package ... was this a joke?
Wait....what? I actually received this AND one from Christine Lagarde @ IMF on the same day - Quit my job, left the old battle-ax and bought a Saweeet 1957 Corvette convertible. Now you're tellin' me it ain't so? WTF am I gonna do?
Carry on--you're three for three so far. If some little scam letter set you on the better course in life, so be it.
imagine how low on the intellectual scale one would have to be to fall for this type of email. but then again in the land of the free, there are probably millions that fall into that category.
Unfortunately for the Nigerians many of those who might fall for this store their wealth on EBT cards which are harder to transfer.
For an extra mil, I'll throw in my mom's maiden name, the name of my first pet, and the street I grew up on.
sign me up!

Bernanke becomes the next USSA Ambassador to Israel.
Obama retires to Saudi Arabia to sell Camels

This looks identical to the Obamacare application.......
MDB, where are you? This is the perfect fix. Everyone gets a check for $1 million and the fiscal/monetary/economic problems are over. Instant fix, so easy!
Somewhere out there, Krugman is reading this and scratching his beard and thinking...hmmmm.
Yeah, and overnight the price of everything goes up 1 million dollars.
Me so horney, me love you long time, one millin dolla pleese!
Yes, but not because of excess of dollars. The serfs would use the helicopter drops to pay down their debts, thereby causing deflation but at the same time, supressing the demand for dollars down to zero.
They might even become wothless paper instantly.
Ben S Bernanke wants to ease you, quantitatively.
Lucky for the Bernank that the anti-sodomy laws have been struck down by the SCOTUS.
Nigeria... Zimbabwe...whatever....close enough for French bank work....
I'll take my digital currency in large bills please.

Good times and riches and sonovabitches, I've seen more than I can re-call...(thanks Jimmy Buffett).
You can be sure it's a scam because the FED only gives free money to bankers.
Don't fall for the trick. It's not money!! They just exchange monopoly paper among themselves.
All the money the FED had is long gone already. Ask the Germans.
The scammers are getting their info from the ACA application forms.....so don't worry, not a lot of people will get scammed.
I saw that email too this morning in my junk folder haha it cracked me up!! Those Nigerian what a great sense of humour!

you know, Mexico isnt looking so bad these days. just have to make good with the local cartel and you're fairly safe and will have a pretty reasonable chance to prosper. not so different than up here except down there you have the advantage of knowing who actually runs the show.
Who woulda guessed that Ben was actually a Nigerian princess? I guess the facial hair should have given it away. But nice job on getting rid of the scars.
LoL, you have to admit, this is hilarious!
10.5 million? pffffttttt they can keep that. Call me when Ben wants to send me some real money.
Love Nigeria! love Nigerians! more of this, please!
This is exactly what the bank manager, local politician, senator and every other fucking suited scammer is doing day in and day out. But when a Nigerian does it descent folks get their knickers in a knot and the Financial Crimes unit gets a collective hard-on.
Think about that when you next pay bank service charges
Greetings Fair and All Nice One,

P.S. I have $12,678,905 US in account here in Nigeria stuck. I give you 15% if you help. Let know.
How about we 'wire' Berstanke and Yellen and then ship the pine boxes to Nigeria?
Yeah I know, who's this "we" I speak of kemosabe...
I really really really wish I had Bernanke's personal info...I could sign him up for Theft by Nigerians just like he's been stealing all our wealth for those behind the Fed Reserve.
