I found another interesting piece about Madoff's views on the financial industry. All I hear out there just tells me that something is going to change in the US soon.

I was going to post this in world news but it would just get lost there. Since this is about economics and people interested in it are here, I'll just post a link and whoever is interested will check it out. There really should be a section on this site for world financial news. In the news section, the business news is listed as for Thailand.
