Microsoft is still under the eye of the feds.... took them 5 years to say.... "oh yeah they still haven't complied"

Screwball ... "Cost of doing business" ... large financial operations weigh everything in line with the cost.

In the stock market the "trade group" above your brokerage firm is called a Market Maker .... they break the laws every day and get caught every year. They pay the attorneys and have suits against them continually. It is a drop in the bucket compared to what they make by unethical and illegal trade activities.

So they don't care ... they get caught ... and they pay ... it is simply a cost they are willing to pay that just isn't much moneys compared to what they reap.

Big business mindset is not threatened by little issues such as this.

I wonder which will purchase the US Government first? Seems that's where it's headed *shakes head*. New goal for children also: Make your company good enough so Google or Micro$h... err... soft buys it. HA! ^^

I take it you didn't know that the US Government has already been sold. Since it is a Government of the People ... it really is the people who have been sold. Each person in this country in the Tax base is an owned asset of a corporation that leverages its debt and forecasts growth based on its asset base.

Your official asset designation is by your SS# and your official legal designation is your name in all Capital letters.
