As depressed as I am, as I'm sure everyone else is, I just cannot imagine this management team would purposely lead us down such a dark path.

These are men of supposedly high esteem and distinction. Why would they do all this just for money, and at this point, they're not even close to realizing any gains, other than salary of course.

Doesn't reputation mean more for people such as these men, at this point in their preofessional careers? Who would want to go out and be remembered as a "scam artist" who destroyed the financial lives of innocent investors?

I just find that difficult to believe. At least that is what I am going to cling to for comfort, for the near term anyway.
