No, not Fonzi

Ponzi scheme: A fraudulent investment operation that involves paying abnormally high returns to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from the profit from any real business.

-Wikipedia
Was anybody surprised that the S.E.C. missed Bernard Madoff's multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme even when it had been under their nose for years?

Maybe somebody should tell them about Social Security.


Fonzi says:
That Ponzi guy is whack!
But Social Security is totally cool!
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

About Me

I find it's best to avoid filling in these "about me" things. You never know who's watching. And anyway, how would I decide which of my many personalities to portray? I wouldn't want to anger any of them. I WILL HARNESS THE POWER OF THE GOOGLE BLOGGINGS. Quiet, Pavlo. The point is that these things are dangerous. If I'm not careful, I could come across as a weirdo. Or boring. Also, I believe that every photo of me steals a little bit of my soul, so no profile picture.
