Ok, I apologize for the second movie reference in a week. But if you have seen Goodfellas or The Sopranos doesn`t this Swartz situation seem familiar?

The desperate businessman goes to the mob boss and requests the boss`s help. The boss says sure and soon his ``boys`` take over the business, milk it for all its worth, and drive it into the ground.

It is appalling how much control of this company had been given over to the ``financiers``.

I think kdaddy over on RB was the first to refer to our situation as ``death spiral`` financing. He sure was right on that account.
