| His criminal enterprise of cooking the books at Worldcom cost me thousands of hard earned dollars. I was a Worldcom shareholder. I bought the stock on the advice of a broker, and it wasn't a crapshoot. I was buying America's second largest long distance phone carrier.
Ebbers and his fellow crooks stole my money just like a stickup man walking into a place of business. Should investors be protected from all risks in the stock market? No, I'm not saying that. But to run a double set of books in order to defraud by pumping and dumping? Bernie, don't expect any sympathy from me for your long prison term. Buy your own vaseline...
