CFB_05/27/06 - Surviving Bankruptcy

Memorial Day is here.  Be sure to take a few moments this weekend to remember those who have fallen in service of this great country.

Our Question of the week.  What is the richest nation in the world on a Per Capita basis?

And the answer is ….. Norway, beating out Luxenburg from the previous year.

While we wait for our Bankruptcy Expert Aaron Keiter to join us, we are going to review some of the old scams, and new.

• 26.5 Million Veteran’s personal data stolen – Have you had enough yet folks? Is this how we honor our Veterans on Memorial Day?  


• Kenny Lay may want to change his last name before he heads of to the slammer.  All kidding aside, lets not loose site of how this impacted our society.  Besides being the largest Bankruptcy in history, the Enron Swindle has also racked up:


• 50 Billion in Market Cap lost


• 2 Billion in Pensions Funds lost


• Over 5000 Jobs gone.
