My crack investigative team has uncovered a notorious con man who has been spreading lies about the U.S. financial system on numerous discussion boards ! Throughout times of financial crisis, "bunco artists" have preyed on the gullible/feeble minded, with such "cons" as Ponzi schemes, "Nigerian bank scam", etc.

My investigators want to alert you to this fraud : though he goes under innumerable aliases, he is really Larson E. Whipsnade, a disbarred attorney from the discredited law firm of Dewey, Cheatum & Howe. After leaving the legal profession in disgrace he became a seller of "precious metals" to cash in on "economic turmoil" ! The rub is the "gold" he is offering is actually worthless pyrite, aka "fool's gold"
( pictured below ). Whipsnade is also wanted by the law for selling millions of worthless shares
in a "beefsteak mine."

My fellow posters, keep an eye out for this fraud
coming to our board next !

CAVEAT EMPTOR !
