If she worked for Goldman Sachs, she'd be givien a bonus!
Pertinax:
No, she's what's called a criminal.
The good people of Goldman Sachs are "financial innovators". They are not criminals, they have not been convicted of a nefarious crime like that nasty little trollop. Fancy defrauding people of their money by claiming to have a product that will do stuff that you know it won't do. The only thing worse than that is selling the thing which you know doesn't work, placing bets that the thing will not work, and then insuring yourself against it not working when you know it doesn't work....
Oh, hang on a second...

Holy crap. Borders, Angus & Robertson and Whitcoulls have gone bust!

Boarders wasn't so bad. Or maybe it was. I may have put them out of buisness by sitting in there reading thier books and never buying any of them. I did buy shithouse coffee though, they'd make money from that yeah?
