We live in an era of fraud in America.

Not just in banking, but in government, education, religion, food, even baseball...

What bothers me isn't that fraud is not nice. Or that fraud is mean.

The banks have given us 25% interest rates on credit cards.

They have screwed us on student loans that we can never get out from under.

Then this guy walks into my office and says those same banks got greedy, they lost track of the market, and I can profit off of their stupidity?

But some of the fresh fish doesn't sell. I don't know why.

So, what am I going to do? Throw all this unsold fish, which is the BBB level of the bond, in the garbage, and take the loss? No way.

Being the crafty and morally onerous chef that I am, whatever crappy levels of the bond I don't sell, I throw into a seafood stew.
