Basher51's Bluff and Bluster

Say that at your job you find out that if certain financial targets are met you will be rewarded handsomely.  So, you start cooking the books and playing fast and loose with the profit and loss statements. You start making wildly speculative deals on mortgage paper that you know to be practically worthless.  Suddenly, you are $90,000,000 richer!  Even after you get caught doing it, it costs you nothing.  In fact, you become a close advisor to the Annointed One destined to be our next president.  So, how do you celebrate?  By buying a $5,000,000 bachelor pad.

Yup, its' good to be Franklin Raines.  You can screw honest hard working people out of their money, be a close advisor of the next president, and still never have to be called to account by the press.  He's lucky that he's not a Republican or he'd be held to account for his outrageous behavior.
