THE DOJ IS STILL RANDOMLY PROSECUTING INVESTORS FOR NON-EXISTENT RULES IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT

LESSON: Remember that economic success is still punished by the U.S. government, even when U.S. Citizens have not broken any law. Prosecutors and judges still have unchecked overzealous control to destroy, fine, and imprison.

Andrew Left is an individual U.S. Citizen who bought stock in public companies and sometimes before and sometimes after expressed his opinions about the companies online. He gave his honest opinions and has never been accused of printing dishonest information.

Yet, since Andrew has a significant online following, the DOJ has indicted him for securities fraud since he at times has profited on his stock trades, as well as lost. There is no law against this, but the SEC and DOJ want to make an example of Andrew and send him to prison, possibly for a very long time as criminal sentences are wildly increased for larger amounts of money.

The DOJ historically indicts financial participants for items which are not even laws, or even rules or statutes, to create new precedents, and indict a number more. The DOJ knows that their 98.5% conviction rate has nothing to do with truth, yet a rigged system of prosecutors and judges who have nearly zero chance of losing anything they bring to court to an unsuspecting jury – or the tremendous trial penalty egregious sentencing that forces nearly every man to plead guilty and a shorter sentence – especially if he has young children.

We all must be aware of how the DOJ works and never assume that truth is the objective. In my own big fish in a small fishbowl case the prosecutors said we mispriced a stock. Although the auditors, valuation experts, and management team testified that they created the valuation and backed the price, the prosecutors and judge denied expert testimony, and showed daily pictures of valuable homes, automobiles, parties, and trips. Then, after the judge disallowed a hung jury, the jurors finally acquiesced. The DOJ refused to ever tell us what the right price should have been – because they have no clue and couldn’t care less. I was sentenced to 14 years in a violent prison. This is what’s happening to Andrew.

Don’t forget every successful person is now exiting California as they move to impose a Wealth Tax, the final death of capitalism. God forbid an ordinary citizen trades public stocks as successfully as Nancy Pelosi or all other Congressmen who influence the markets every day by picking winners and losers.

Remain diligent against Atlas Shrugged government assaults of the little remaining capitalism we have. Don’t let jealousy have us indict successful people. Let us celebrate them and hope their examples inspire us all.

Have a great week!
