Charles - thank you.
Back in 2001, I made a film for BBC2 entitled The Great Dot Con about the pumping of shares of tiny internet companies which had no hope of ever making money by Wall Street and City brokers,
We had our own whistleblowing insider.
We also had a key interview with a trader. I was certain that when we exposed the corrupt practices, the interview would be terminated and we would be escorted from the Wall Street premises by security goons.
I also suspected that when the film was finally broadcast, it would get a couple of positive reviews, a smallish audience, and that nothing would change in the financial markets.
And so it came to pass.
Ten years later, the same tricks, the same goons, and the same phoney voices promising to learn the lessons.
For all of ten minutes.....
