A substantial percentage of Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower cases filed were against financial institutions, including Fannie Mae and others. Many times details of accounting irregularities of mortgage brokerages, investment banks and other financial institions were provided to the Dept. of Labor as well as the Federal Judiciary and NOTHING WAS EVER DONE.

In the aftermath of Katrina, when Michael Brown was proving himself to be such a worthy political appointee of Mr. Bush, I (probably like everyone else) began wondering how many others were feeding at the federal coffers with such a wealth of relevant experience. So, I was hoping to have a little contest - who can find the a) least qualified and b) most snuggled up with special interests. Read More

Just so you know, if your in league with old Beelzebub, it might be time to update your resume.

This week the Vatican began a beginner's course to teach "aspiring demonologists and exorcists." The four-month course, called "Exorcism and the Prayer of Liberation," is being offered for the second year by Pontifical Regina Apostolorum University on Rome's outskirts. Read More

Sarbanes-Oxley (corporate fraud act)whistleblower complaints have to be processed through OSHA (which is nuts - what does OSHA know about securities law and accounting??). Reasoning was that OSHA investigators are the experts in whistleblower law, so they would be the logical choice to look into the complaints. The process is:

*file whistleblower claim with Dept. of Labor/OSHA - field investigator does initial investigation which is supposed to be completed in 60 days

*if the employer or whistleblower disagrees with the investigator's finding the ruling can be appealed via an DOL/Administrative Law Judge

*if DOL has not made a decision within 180 days the whistleblower can file a discrimination suit in federal court

I ran across this most interesting article in the Washington Times today.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/business/20051005-093645-5695r.htm

In a brilliant PR move, the executives of the major credit card companies have recruited Mr.Giuliani to save them from all that bad press they've gotten recently about their poor security practices.

"Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told financial industry executives yesterday they should protect consumers from identity theft in ways similar to cities preparing for terrorist attacks.
"If you anticipate everything you can, you will be ready for the unanticipated," Mr. Giuliani said.'"
Sorry, Rudy...you got an uphill battle, Dude.
