On December 6, 2010, the United States Department of Justice issued yet another in a very, very, very long line of press releases: Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force Announces Results of Largest-Ever Nationwide Operation Targeting Investment Fraud.  

Frankly, that’s about all that government seems to do these days – you know, the old slap on their own back, feel-good, puffery about the wonderful job that they’re doing . . . the same job that (well, how can I soften this?) they haven't really been getting done for far too long.

So -- you’ll understand if I’m not exactly jumping for joy about this latest media blitz.

Read Bill Singer's critique of Operation Broken Trust -- at times hilarious but for the fact that there's nothing to laugh at here.
