Hippiekinkster -> RE: Should your U.S. Senator own a $7 M Yacht? (7/30/2010 10:07:25 AM)

"Samuel Wyly and Charles Wyly -- billionaire brothers in Texas who have spent millions funding political campaigns -- committed violations of federal securities laws and fraud by using offshore accounts to secretly trade the shares of public companies whose boards they sat on, reaping more than $550 million in profit, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission complaint filed Thursday. The politically-active Wylys, who have been generous donors to Republican causes over the years, have faced questions in recent years -- including a Senate probe -- about whether they ran an extensive network of tax shelters." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/market-cop/2010/07/politically-connected_wyly_bro.html?hpid=topnews I note the hypocrites don't say fuck-all when one of their own commits crimes on a massive scale, but let a Dem avoid taxes (which is perfectly legal), and they howl like they have rabid porcupines stuck in their rectums.
