Time to re-enter the real world - if it would have you. I guess this is what happens when one lives in Burma and Bahrain or Saudi or wherever the feck you guys are..
    Tom,

    I'm sure his lawyers will be using that as the opening statement at his trial.

    With all due respect mate (and there isn't much, I assure you), you are the fucking idiot that's decided the outcome of the case without being presented with any of the evidence.

    So maybe you are the one living in la la land, eh?

    DSK OUT!

    Indeed. He is done no matter what happens. Now the big question is who will be appointed to lead IMF? Dissension among the members of IMF. I agree with those who say no more European heads. IMF has become a bailout organization for failed Euro states using money from member states who gain little value from Euro bailouts. Time to have an Asian or South American head.

    People are just one drunken lunge away from messing up their entire lives. One black swan event or misstep. And thats why we shouldn't take out big mortgages.
    That's all very good, but the specific charges laid against him and her description of the events, under oath, hardly sound like a "drunken lunge".

    Let's just remember that every single piece of evidence that the prosecution hold MUST be made available to the defence, including witnesses.

    If you ask me, all he has to do is hire Robert Shapiro and he'll walk.

    The convention is that the World Bank is led by an American, the IMF by a European.

    Although I agree with you Norton that bailouts should have been much more limited also in the US!!, this sounds a bit like policy spin for the depreciating Dollar against a competing Euro as an investment currency, IMF loans are structured so as to almost always get paid back in full, only Iraq and Zimbabve have defaulted in recent years.

    IMF loans are not gifts but a profit making business.

    "2) “Many Directors” wanted to put the money in the IMF’s reserves, which currently stand at $12 billion. They want the money available to reimburse the IMF if several countries such as Greece or Ireland default on their loans.

    Our response: The IMF’s outstanding loans have increased massively since the financial crisis, reaching $95 billion this year. Loans to countries such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal are to bail out irresponsible private lenders, such as German and British banks. The countries which run the IMF have already made the mistake of bailing out these lenders rather than cutting debt by making the reckless lenders take a hit. Such loans are currently making money for the IMF through the interest being paid..

    3) “Many Directors” want the windfall money to be invested to provide income for the IMF.

    Our response: $7 billion from selling gold has already been invested to provide the IMF with more income. With these investments, and the money the IMF makes from lending to countries such as Ireland, the Fund is expected to make a profit of $500 million this year. Even with its huge $1 billion costs, and if it stopped making money out of the loans it gives, the IMF projects it will continue to make a profit. There is no need for the IMF to get even more money."

    Of course they do. That's how OJ was acquitted of murder but still ended up being told to pay the Goldman's $33.5 million for Wrongful Death. (Of course he wheedled out of most of that, but he's getting his just deserts in chokey right now I'd say).

    Nah, let's give it to Gordon. A few years of him fucking things up and the world might actually start having some sympathy for us poor old Brits....

    (And no, he was never an elected prime minister!).

    Check out the IMF's role after the 1997 Asian crisis.

    The organisation has been around longer than six months.

    It goes where the action is. If Europe needs work it goes there, as it did for Asia and South America. To characterise it as focused on Europe right now merely attests to Europe being the place that needs fixing.

    That one eyed scots monkey always fancies his chances he's got an ego bigger than the Atlantic and f*ck all to back it up. I'd rather see a French monkey like "pupa" get the job and that's saying something, even "social" could do a better job!

    He a complete "self admiring c*nt" ful of shit and picks his nose in the Commons, he alone managed to spend and borrow enough to break the UK even before the banking crisis, he's not known as "Gordon the Moron" for nothing!

    I'll second that "arry" if I may?

    "toomy" I don't know why you're getting your knickers in such a twist?

    You've lost the plot sunshine even picking me up on a few typo's!

    Anyway I've been deciphering a few of your mate "pupa's" posts and they're complete fucking crap, get a grip will you?

    Gordon Brown is a non-runner for this position.

    He most certainly is not. Whether Cameron and Osborne put a sheet round him and tonk him through the skull is another issue, but he's certainly touting himself, as are other socialists from what I've read.

    I would like to think there are enough people out there who aren't that fucking gullible though.

    So would I "arry" so would I!

    On that note I'm off for a Chang or ten now but I'll leave you to defend the cause of "sanity" against all the "idiots" on here.

    (notice I didn't use "liboturds" cos it's upsetting the "liboturds on TD!)

    "pupa" I was just about to sign off and stalk a bottle of Chang or ten.

    I know you'll miss me but I'll leave you with this thought...I've not been on long today and the other "liboturds" on are frothing at the mouth!

    Remember as "Blue" posted...Gorden Brown sold half of Britains gold ,500 tonnes for $300 an ounce, lost about $7 billion at todays prices.
