The Markit Group: A Black-Box Company that Devastated Markets
Did a little mystery company in London help hedge funds crash the markets?
Someday I may SAC up and be more explicit about the Sith Lord
Followers of the twisted tale of DeepCapture may remember that on August 12, 2005, I gave a webcast of which I will always remain proud. It was titled, "The Miscreant's Ball".
SAC Capital linked to insider trading? Who knew!
As you encounter conversations on this topic in the days to come, it is a good opportunity to point out that Deep Capture published irrefutable evidence of insider trading at short selling hedge funds SAC Capital, Kynikos Associates and Third Point Partners almost one year ago.

Integrity-Challenged Journalists Harm Children
10 January 2008 by Patrick Byrne
The Salt Lake Tribune again provides example of the harm being done to society by shoddy, agenda-ridden journalism. In November, 2007 The Salt Lake Tribune published two articles by Lisa Schencker and Rebecca Walsh regarding education.
