  With Conrad Black’s fraud trial starting in March, his lawyer has banned him from using words of more than two syllables. All to make him come across as a regular sort of guy.

- Fall in securities fraud lawsuits
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Class-action lawsuits filed over securities fraud reached an all-time low in 2006. But will the trend continue with the campaign to weaken Federal oversight of big business gathering momentum?

- Conrad Black shows his frugal side
  Posted by SoxFirst
  In his latest filing, disgraced media mogul Conrad Black says he is worried about his old company Hollinger is spending money on legal fees, and he seeks $20.6 million which he reckons the company owes him. He is also looking to hire jury consultants to help him come across as a regular sort of guy.

- Conrad Black's Christmas presents
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Just months before his fraud, racketeering and tax evasion trial begins, disgraced former media mogul Black is giving special Christmas presents to what's left of his friends. It's a T-shirt with Black's picture on the front above the words "CONRAD WILL WIN." Black signs the back of each shirt and inscribes a personal message to the recipient.

- Conrad Black: "Let them eat cake"
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The self-delusion of Conrad Black, who stands trial for multi-million dollar fraud next year and plundering Hollinger Interanational, continues. Now he compares himself to a French nobleman during the Revolution.

- How to beat identity fraud
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Identity fraud is on the rise but new data shows a lot of it is avoidable. Data shows that most cases involve stuff that’s within the consumer's control, be it lost or stolen wallets, credit cards and cheque books, trusted associates including family, friends, neighbours and employees, stolen mail or garbage and hacking into computers.

- HOW the NeoCons Stole Freedom: Stealing Elections Texas Style: Mrs. Blankenship goes out to vote.
  Posted by themelinda
  Diebold is just down the street from the Library where Mrs. Blankenship sent to vote and where the X did not mark the spot she chose but that of the Republican she very much wanted out of office. What is a retired school teacher to do when her vote is being stolen before her eyes? Mrs. Blankenship took action.

Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud

It’s not China so much as the IOC. The IOC apparently is uninterested in pursuing such issues, preferring to take the word of the Host.
The USSR/East Block countries did some interesting bending of the rules years back and very little happened to any of them.
So cheating will only be enforced against athletes who don’t have direct Government backing.

This is typical of how the IOC has bowed very low to China in every way, regarding these Olympics. From lax to a lack of, enforcement of even the mildest of prerequisites China agreed to in order to secure Beijing as the host city, to staying mum while China stops athletes from competing based on their politcal beliefs, the IOC have shown what they are really about: the money!
