Hope someone out there got a screen shot of that. I should have, but forgot. If you have one, let me know.

Shame, i could have used a laugh this morning. Anyhow it sure brings home the lesson that even basic, common sense due diligence will sometimes uncover blatent fraud - reminds me of someone who cold-called me with a pitch for ownership interests in some sort of natural gas well, and when I checked his name on the NASD website, found he had 1) been de-registered, and 2) had a record of indecent conduct - with a 17 year old! Caveat sucker, it's a jungle out there I’ll have to take everyone’s word, becuase they took it down. Shame, i could have used a laugh this morning.

You would think that a 'sophisticated investor' would take note of these things.
