time

the country.

the US. Keep
the fencing and signage

benkay: man i'm
trying
to make shit-hitting-the-fan hedges but i

than use a business bank account, Madoff’s hedge fund put billions of dollars from

Bugpowder: Oh well. It's better
to know news before others, generally.
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> nobody paid attention when I posted it
