I personally believe the Bear Sterns CEO should be charged with forge and utter and for giving false and misleading market information , conspiracy charges should also be laid as it was done for financial gain . Apart from a myriad of federal charges for relaying the information over a communciations network .
Given the variety of charges that can and more than likely will be laid , I also think he will be next in line for a Presidential pardon .
It certainly does wonders for building confidence back in the US markets , like fark it does . It just shows they are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep on skimming the masses .
