All the con men are falling under attack: Blankfein on deck.

Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman "Vampire Squid" Sachs, has reportedly hired big time defense attorney Reid Weingarten.  We really don't know what for at this point but it's not too difficult to hazard a guess.  Blankfein is an arrogant con man IMO but he's no fool.  He knows that the sheeple are awakening and they are pissed.  In line with the concept of con men turning on each other to curry favor with the very pissed off public during the collapse phase of the con, the government (the lead con player in the fractional reserve banking scam) is likely going to try to nail him with whatever charges they can just to throw some raw meat to the angry crowd.  Scapegoating is a sign that the Ponzi is in the collapse phase.

In a post from June of this year I wrote, "They [Bernanke and his criminal banker cohorts] are laughing now for having fleeced the sheeple so boldly but I actually feel sorry for them because they do not fully understand the anger that they have incited in the general population.  I'm talking Reeve Valkenheiser type anger towards moneymen.  Once the collapse hits then it will be open season on con men and bankers.  Perhaps I will be proven wrong but at this point I suspect that bankers and moneymen will have a very difficult time enjoying their stolen prosperity into old age. When you get a scammer like  Lloyd Blankfein smugly telling the people that Goldman Sachs is "doing God's work" one can only imagine the thought processes this set off in some of the less stable, less economically fortunate among us."

Personally, I am quite sure that a public hanging of Lloyd Blankfein will fix nothing; the past damage is done and that bill will have to be paid by the future labor and suffering of the people.  However, going forward the very fact that the government is pursuing him is an eye-opener to all the other would be con men out there.  If Blankfein gets taken down, no con man anywhere is safe no matter how much money, power or legal resource he might have access to.  Blankfein needs to be taken down if for no other reason than that.  Years ago, con man Blankfein (a label that is of course, just my humble opinion), was untouchable.  He was like Rumsfeld - a “made man” in the criminal organization that took over from the Capone type mobsters: the Military Industrial Complex gang.  Now it seems both Blankfein and rummy better lawyer up.  The public wants to see heads roll and so heads will roll.
