Never bullshirt a bullshirter—well, except perhaps this guy
Stock broker Michael Axel (according to New York prosecutors) stole $600k from elderly clients' accounts he was managing and was indicted yesterday, even though the gov't concedes that Axel had lost about $400k of that in his own investment with a very nice gentleman in Nigeria who volunteered to help him liquidate an inheritance Axel had not even known about!

Better yet, guys and gals, I've got a line on an old fix-er-upper here in central Athens, Greece. In fact it's the 2ed highest spot in Athens and the 360 view is to die for! I'm accepting bids here starting at 2.5M.
