Evil has finally gripped the hands of many Americans laughing on its way to riches from troubled financial institutions. Evil has no face but runs in blood in the heart of man. Evil creates greed and cheat among us. Things that are near seem very far, and things that are so far seem so near, but can't get them! All are the illusion of the century. That sounds like the soul of the evil crippling in every innocent man.

The property world seems so far away in time with millions of life depending on it but it had crippled. Soon, the credit card scam plumbs onto the feet of the innocent souls.

Just look at the news!

"Abstract greed and the invisible hand play apart. Digitisation promotes an amoral mentality, irresponsibility and estrangement"

"The superman of Nietzsche perceives that acts beyond good and evil dissembled financial institutions. Brokers and traders often have training in neo-classical economics, promoting certain personal convictions"

"Brokers neglect dimensions of ethics beyond explicit rules"

"One of the largest US mortgage lenders, the California-based Indy Mac Bank, has collapsed amid a growing credit crisis."

"Federal regulators seized the bank's assets, fearing it might not be able to meet withdrawals by depositors"

"It is the second-largest financial institution to fail in US history."

"The failure came on a day when shares in the two biggest US home loan institutions - Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae - fell at one stage by almost 50%.”

"Indy Mac had been struggling to raise funds and stay in business in one of the state’s worst hit by the US housing market slump."

"The bank's primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), said depositors had withdrawn more than $1.3bn in the past 11days."

"This institution failed today due to a liquidity crisis,"

"Hedge funds scramble as SEC cracks down."

We hope the good force is with us and in all affected innocent Americans. God shall be with us all.

BC suspeita de lavagem de dinheiro no banco de Dantas: The Brazilian Central Bank has an ongoing investigation into the alleged inadequacy of money-laundering controls at Daniel Dantas' Opportunity Bank, the Estadão reports today.

O Banco Central está processando o banco Opportunity, de Daniel Dantas, por suspeita de lavagem de dinheiro. E os indícios da prática criminosa foram levantados pelo próprio BC, em uma fiscalização feita em 2007 pelo Departamento de Combate a Ilícitos Financeiros e Supervisão de Câmbio e Capitais Internacionais (Decic). O relatório do Decic concluiu que o Banco Opportunity "expõe seus produtos e serviços à lavagem de dinheiro" porque "não tem controle" das operações de seus correntistas.

... Inications of criminal activity were discovered by the central bank itself during a 2007 audit by DECIC, the financial crimes and currency exchange and international capital oversight division of the bank.

Wow, never heard of that. COAF is the local equivalent to FinCEN in the U.S., in terms of financial crime investigation.

The DECIC report found that Opportunity "exposes its products and services to money laundering" because "it lacks controls" over transactions by its account holders.

I have used this blog to talk about platforms in recent posts. Last week, Richard Veryard, a UK blogger and "business technology evangelist" picked up on what I wrote in his blog here. Richard asks will financial services firms provide "radical improvements to customer experience and services". He doubts it will happen soon, ends his post by saying "I live in hope"...

I to have hope that financial services companies will innovate in their product offerings and will get away from feeing the customers to death and a focus on their own bottom line to the detriment of their customers.

Examples are starting to trickle in... Here is one from earlier this week from PNC Bank. The PNC Virtual Wallet is a special set of accounts with little to no fees (assuming minimums are met) and provide a set of services around managing cash flow and savings.

Do you know of other examples?

We can not be ready for everything, every second of every day. That is just not something that is going to work for us. After all, some of us only make enough money to get by paying the bills. We never have enough money to save up for things that can go bad. However, that is what a fast cash loan is for. This is a loan that you can get, either locally or online, and there are two ways that you will get your money as well. Of course, both ways of getting a fast cash loan are, well, fast. You just have to choose which fast cash loan works best for you.

If you choose to get your Fast cash loan online, then you are going to get your money by direct deposit. This is nice, however, it does take usually a day to get the money. Of course, waiting a day on a fast cash loan is not really that hard. Sometimes if you get a fast cash loan before 12:00 in the afternoon, you can get the money in your bank account that same day! Of course, you have to look online to see what kind of places offer this kind of service. Either way, a fast cash loan is going to get you money fast for all of life's little games that you have to play.

Now if you are going to get your Fast cash loans from a local place, then you are going to get your money a little bit quicker. In fact, all you are going to have to do is go to this place that is willing to give you a fast cash loan and apply for it. If you get approved, they will either give you cash or a check that day. Most places give checks because they do not like to keep that much money on hand. Of course if it's a check all you have to do is take your fast cash loan to your bank and put it in yourself. Either way you are going to get the money that day. So if your car breaks down and you need money right then, this is the way to go.

First of all, you are going to want to know what the difference is between an easy payday loan and a normal loan. Well first of all, an easy payday loan is a lot smaller than a normal loan. Usually a payday loan is just a loan of money that you can get before you next payday. Then when you get your paycheck you can pay off the loan. Other loans usually get drug out for a long time. Next, an easy payday loan is something that you can get without having any credit. All you need to do to get one of these loans is to have a bank account and a job.

Now when you are looking for an Easy payday loan, you can start your search online if you want. This is because there are a ton of online easy payday loan places where you can get the money you need put right into your account without any problems. Most people do not know that you can get these loans right over the Internet. The great thing about it is really how easy it is. Most of the time you can just apply for one of these easy payday loans, and get the money in your account the next day. It really does not get much easier than that.

Of course, you can get an easy payday loan from a local place. However, if you are going to go with a local place and not the Internet, there are a few things that you have to watch out for. First of all, you may have to pay more fees on the loan that you take out. This is because these local places do not have many other companies to go up against. When you are shopping online, they have to go up against a lot of different places, because you can compare prices at the click of a button. So keep in mind that you could pay more for the same kind of easy payday loan if you get it locally and not online.

All in all, the Online Payday loan is something that is great for anyone that needs money fast. There is nothing better than to be able to get the money you need. It is even better when the money you are trying to get comes from an easy payday loan! There is nothing wrong with getting a loan on the Internet. A lot of people do not trust the Internet, but what most people do not know is that it's safer to get the loan on the Internet. This is something that people should look into before they start running their months off.

The Brazilian journalist does not feel free to write. More than just having to follow the editorial line of the publications they work for, the complaints principally have to do with coercion by political or business groups. –“A Profile of the Brazilian Journalist”

Relatório afirma, sem provas, que grupos "manipulam" mídia: The Folha de S. Paulo follows up on reports from yesterday, that the final report in Operation Satyagraha -- in which banker Daniel Dantas was arrested, released on a habeas corpus writ, then re-arrested, then re-released -- "states, without proof, that groups 'manipulated' media.

The principal source of the story is a press release from the Folha corporate office.

The story is bylined to the reportagem local, which simply rewrites the press release issued by its big boss.

Report states, without offering proof, that groups "manipulated" news media

O relatório final da Operação Satiagraha, assinado pelo delegado da Polícia Federal Protógenes Pinheiro de Queiroz, diz que os supostos grupos criminosos do banqueiro Daniel Valente Dantas e do investidor Naji Robert Nahas "manipulam" a mídia. As supostas conversas, parte da atividade dos jornalistas, são o único "indício" apontado por Queiroz.

The final report, signed by federal police Protógenes Pinheiro de Queiroz, says that the alleged criminal groups headed by Dantas and Nahas "manipulated" the news media. Supposed conversations, which are part of the normal activity of journalists, are the only "indication" pointed to by Queiroz.

The tone is exceedingly defensive, don't you think? Liberal use of "sneer quotes." According to Nassif, however, the text of the report contains references to e-mail and phone intercepts that have not been made public yet.
