11:32 am
the world that's right get to the back of the bus say server yes max you're there a blank stare or you're in on banks or you're in unbanked unemployed is bad enough unbanked can be worse so thirty million americans have no access to the financial system they don't have a bank account and this article is pointing out that five point seven percent of san francisco households lack conventional accounts according to a two thousand and nine survey by the federal deposit insurance corporation very first two as on banks lacking a bank account imposes limitations on a person's financial options says greg cato policy and legislative manager of the office of the treasurer tax collector in san francisco he points out that you know the fees for a check cashing at these alternative methods like the check cashing locations payday lenders they could cost up to a thousand dollars a year and also in post four hundred twenty five percent interest rates on loans
11:33 am
right this is like segregation this is like colors to the back of a bus unbanked to the back of the bus unbanked it pay thousands dollars in fees and you pay four hundred twenty percent on interest on your payday loans and this is segregation this is a financial apartheid if you're on wall street you actually your funds are negative they're negative one percent the fed gives you gifts to money and then you park it back at the fed you make a one percent spread that's a negative interest rate you know it's just like the indians back in hundred fifty years ago two hundred years ago with buffalo bill the only be rolling across the plains shooting the indians shooting the buffalo did to starve out. the indians here blankfein and jamie diamond j.p. morgan are starving out the poor people of america hoping they just die and go away that's their all plus the myth is and the propaganda is that the economy in the united states is now booming everything is recovering so all of these unbanked
11:34 am
people they might become banked you know they might get a job one day well penta soaring oil inflation and households soaked in debt michael pentode an investment advisor is asked on king world news to respond to the claims that the economy was and is recovering he points to the trade deficit widening and nonfinancial debt is that a record of two hundred fifty percent of g.d.p. and then he says but most importantly please don't believe the lie that the fed's money printing is laying fallow at the central bank and that inflation isn't harming the american middle class and the economy consumer prices rose point four percent in the month of february a loan and year over year increases in food and gas prices are five percent and twelve percent respectively money supply is up ten percent in the past twelve months and banks are now buying u.s. treasuries with reckless abandon so commercial banks have purchased seventy eight point two billion dollars and treasury and agency debt in january february of two thousand and twelve alone as much as they purchased in all of two thousand and
11:35 am
eleven because they weren't going out to that french immunity that the next round of quantitative easing going to be buying back these agencies debt for par four hundred cents on the dollar and so it's another gift to the banks and the hedge funds they're telegraphing what they're going to do it's insider trading again for the banks but the entire modus operandi of the federal reserve is to target stock price as the basis of their policy they don't target employment or wages or savings those people are considered not part of the economy and they are not factored into any of the data that is coal aided by the government to disinform the best of the health of the economy so the savers are continuing to get repressed and the people with. wages or jobs are continuing to be pushed off the grid but the speculators are continuously getting gifted and we call that a recovery it's a recovery in fraud fraud is never going to hire well you mention that these insiders these bankers are buying up the agency debt with the expectation that
11:36 am
a q e three is coming and that quantitative easing the next round of it the fed is going to buy these mortgage backed securities like that so jesse's a café american calls us when the abuse of insider information and control who are so large as to become the market the moral hazard to k. has progressed so far has tainted so much that the u.s. markets are not even worthy to be called casinos much less capital management and efficient allocation mechanisms they've become out which was where the real wealth of the nation is taken and slaughtered these fellows produce nothing create nothing except for fraudulent conveyance to take other people's wealth and the best example he says is m.f. global but yes the m.f. global scandal is a high watermark and the malfeasance going on in the wall street led economy work wealth was simply stolen from customers right out of their accounts but you know the economy rebounding as such. by definition
11:37 am
a poll of only those people that survived the last poll graham the last financial hole a cost that wiped out millions those people aren't counted anymore they're considered to have been you know wiped off the system of the remaining group that's there then they say well all of those wealth that we stole those people are now wealthier and therefore the economy is growing and some people are feeling positive because they only had ten percent stolen in the example of m.f. global banks with inside track take advantage of m.f. global mystery so this is from francine mccann and she says five months on from the m.f. global collapse we know less now than we did when they declared bankruptcy there's one thing we know for sure however and that is some banks must know where to miss and cost the refunds are otherwise why would they be so sure that customer claims will be paid in full and paid soon that they're getting as much as ninety percent
11:38 am
of face value for the claims barry slotnick white collar defense lawyer says these banks are so confident that they're buying the claims for their own account not resell well they're buying the claims and they're simultaneously hedging their claims for two or three percent so they have no risk once again they're taking a risk loss position then the being gifted money by the federal government and the people are having their money stolen or left you know crying on the sidelines but it's also a mafia racket if the if the likes of j.p. morgan they know where the money is it's in their bank account that's why they know so they're able to go to you know joe the farmer out in missouri and say joe the farmer i know for a fact you've lost a million dollars we'll give you nine hundred thousand dollars back now or you know what we'll give it to you in ten years' time when you go through all the litigation necessary so you take ninety percent now and we'll make ten percent so you're. and
11:39 am
i feel lucky that farmer joe the farmer is going to feel really good about the economy because he at least he was down a million before now he's down only a hundred thousand right it could be a hundred thousand that is the difference between actually surviving as an ongoing entity because he may be leveraged going into the harvest as farmers generally are but again those people who fall off the grid are just consider collateral damage and whether it's you know america's foreign policy that kills people in the pursuit of their oil policies that same thing in the united states if you get wrapped up in this thing and you get terminated you're just not counted anymore and then the press human kind of goes on to know another interesting thing is there were five months on no charges have been laid and no apparent investigation is even happening she says note that m.f. global chief operating officer barry al below filed a chapter eleven bankruptcy petition for the holding company on october thirty first two thousand and eleven not a chapter seven chapter eleven allows the debtors previous management in this case
11:40 am
represented by al below general counsel. and chief financial officer henry steenkamp to remain in charge so the same guys in charge of the crime of the fraud in the first place were allowed to stay in because of chapter eleven bankruptcy and therefore cover up their tracks absolutely because they're connected and they don't have to pay for their crimes and you know all the money that they're printing to cover up all these crimes of course ends up trickling down in the form of inflation for stuff like gas and food so people are paying more for gas and food and obama has a some kind of study out there is trying to figure out why the price of gas was going so i was because you keep papering over all the products nor issuance of currency that has the effect of basing their currency so there is a price to pay and the fact that you've got some cognitive dissonance there i think that's the way i say that cognitive you know by polarization we've got he's got bipolar disease of the cognitive bipolar disease by obama or he's he's sitting
11:41 am
there like i don't understand. the price of gas is high if i look only at reality this i consume like. i don't get it and then he's like oh oh all of a body are good for both supporters or those i come from those who come from for i don't know i can see dollar stupid i can pay you up and you know you know this where you know as america's dysfunctional want to most say is the place is going down the tubes back to the bankers and their their insider information i wish they trade and the great banks central banks pounce on fall in gold or sharp fall in gold prices has triggered large purchases of bully on by central banks in recent weeks the bank for international settlements which acts on behalf of central banks has been buying significant quantities of gold on the international market amid falling prices traders say according to several estimates that the i asked bought four to six tons of gold worth roughly two hundred fifty million to three hundred
11:42 am
million at current prices and the over the counter physical market last week with purchases particularly strong at the end of the week the total purchases over the past three or four weeks were likely to be as much as double that the trader said so this comes as they say gold prices have slid in the past three weeks as strong economic data from the u.s. has lowered investors' expectations of quantitative easing but as you pointed out all the bankers know that there's going to pay to be easing coming and they're preparing and yet all the you know the great on bank they watch the news and they're all they have is hope that's all they have and that's a very bad thing to have his just home. yes us but most people in america survive on a little hope. yeah. but central banks around the world are buying gold you know gold gold iyam gold look gold is the collateral that is the foundation for the
11:43 am
entire global banking system it's a. misnomer to say that we're not on a gold standard we are the gold standard we always have been we always will be sometimes we choose to believe or not and they would puff up seven hundred trillion dollars at the derivatives but it's still so resting on a coup or value of gold central banks understand this people who want to protect themselves against fraud should be buying gold and silver and when you're buying gold to put it into a technical term for you hedge fund traders out there it's like buying a volatility straddle ok you know the vix which is the volatility index you can buy straddle could put in a call the saying strike price and then that only only way to lose is that there's no bala telling if you buy gold the only way you lose is if the economy progress as smoothly without any interruptions whatsoever given the amount of fraud and the amount of misallocation and malinvestment and outright scandal was psychotic axe murderers who run the central banks and america's financial policy do you
11:44 am
really think that the next twelve to twenty four months is going to run smoothly without some kind of a catastrophe either on the hyperinflation or the hyperinflation side doesn't matter if the volatility spread you can only lose as if things just go like it's one nine hundred fifty five again and i said our the president that's the only way to live so let's eisenhower is coming back to be president the united states gold is going higher that's that's your risk that eisenhower is reanimated and stopped and he's put the white house and it's i like ike and we went backwards in time that's your only risk in owning gold if that doesn't happen you're going to make money and protect yourself against these frickin psychopaths that run the system stays there were they so much for being the cuz the record breaking don't go away much more coming your way possibly and they could kone worshiper.
11:45 am
i am as proud to welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to new york and speak with mark mellon on correlated investments marc welcome to the kaiser report thanks max good to be here all right mark mallett spent five months says m.f. global collapse what do you know about what crimes took place what are the unmentionables who are the untouchables of the unmentionables in the untouchables
11:46 am
max i don't think we have enough time for that but let me just give you some of the headlines i was in d.c. i was speaking to a number of people i heard that a figure a investigator had actually said to me that they counter parties which is one of the unmentionables and off global has some very interesting aspects of it that should be investigated you know my big question is is there an investigation going on there is clearly been indications of fraud is not a fact in congressional testimony the chairman of the c.m.e. group noted that documents were falsified from enough global to the regulators i don't seems like that's fraud to me but there's no fraud investigation here and it appears that the trustee louis freeh the former federal bureau of investigations director who for some reason is in charge of a bankruptcy where he stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars doesn't feel the need to investigate fraud so i don't know math where do i start i guess is my
11:47 am
issue. well just to fill in some of the jargon airsoft c.m.e. group or both regulators covers one aspect of the securities industry c.m.e. is that if you go problems wallace commodities industry but i say it's a regulator that self-regulating right at bay they regulate themselves and as such they've done a bad job regulate themselves correct well no i think you have to take a look at this is a lot more complex than i actually feel that the self regulators in my opinion are doing a better job than the government regulators if you look at how this c.c. for instance has handled this and there are some documents that the f.c.c. apparently withheld at the behest of mr corazon critical rist documents before floating a three hundred million dollars bond offering it's all documented i gave everything to congress they have it where's the investigation i can't speak the finra as much as i can speak to the national futures association i'm from the commodity industry that's where i come from the n f a they may be the self regulatory body but by and
11:48 am
large they get their funding off of every transaction that occurs and i've found them to be very independent as my friend i would say in the commodities industry for the most part there's a fear and a respect of the regulator that's not what i'm seeing at all with the c c i quite frankly see a larger picture of regulatory capture and i think is damaging the integrity of the u.s. financial system oh yeah well how unusual was it that within one minute of requesting it a transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars was made from m.f. global segregated clients funds to j.p. morgan's accounts the money arrived with j.p. morgan within fifteen minutes and you speak of that mark excuse me for laughing at this because there's one aspect you need to get of this the money that was transferred was transferred from a four desegregated account ok in our industry a segregated account is radioactive you do not touch
11:49 am
a segregated account and transfer my. to transfer money out of a segregated account everyone that i talked to in our industry knows that so first off now we have a transfer of this money in a second but it's being done in the most sanker of sanct area so entirely in my opinion on believable it's not to be believed and then for that to be approved in a matter of a second you know if someone were sitting in a desk a compliance officer with any kind of training and they saw money coming out of a segregated account that would generate alarm bells alarm bells they would be talking to a number of different people you do not make that transfer in my opinion in one sec it doesn't happen right so basically j.p. morgan of course has come out with their quarterly earnings they're up there buying back their own stock but they're doing so with money that they stole from customers breaking the law so i mean if you want to buy fraud you can buy j.p.
11:50 am
morgan stock and you have a great play on fraud which seems to be a fantastic growth industry in america and now banks are reportedly buying and if global client claims that ninety cents on the dollar one client's daily air is holding out for one hundred percent you interviewed him recently yourself what's the story there mark this is a story of individual standing up it's not a story about me it's a story about guys like stanley hart's a story about james toolis the story about a new york i named david rosen these are individuals that had to stand up a stanley's been a leader in going to congress and send a congressman guys are you kidding me this is ridiculous this is the most brazen act of potential fraud and cover up. in the almost the history of the financial industry and it's not being investigated so what another interesting angle of this story is that who's protecting the commodity markets and their integrity there are some things that are happening in this bankruptcy they're literally changing the
11:51 am
structure. of investor protections so a number of people are looking at this from the standpoint of it's changing the core of investor protections and no one saying anything about it the way you leaders aren't saying anything about it the major institution the c.m.e. group isn't saying anything about the n.f.l. is sitting on the sidelines they're leaving it up to guys like stanley har and could fool us in row and rosen these are individuals with money out of their own pockets hello the core commodity industry integrity and i'm going to say the integrity of the financial markets in general is being questioned right now and no one's doing anything about it well it's interesting that while this scandal is going on in these capital markets there is a resurgence of. alternate political reality in the united states there is there are now parties that are saying that our favoring more of a collectivist approach as we saw that i had seen thirty's during the aftermath of the last time j.p. morgan crash the stock market nineteen twenty nine. in your interview with stanley
11:52 am
are. you apparently there was a conspiracy that's what on travel between j.p. morgan goldman sachs and what about this connection between gold and j.p. morgan there may be some j.p. morgan goldman sachs involvement based on the information i have in front of me a goldman sachs is a minor player in the entire enough global span on what's to be uncovered with m.f. global is much larger than what's already been uncovered so in my opinion based on what i have seen and this is subjective it's really a j.p. morgan story but remember in lehman brothers j.p. morgan essentially took seven billion dollars out of the carcass of lehman brothers that was lehman brothers j.p. morgan is now doing is taking money from farmers and retirees so here's my question to you if they're going to be able to take money from farmers and retirees whose next is a bank account knocks can they do this to individual savers with
11:53 am
a checking account you know could they flip the room. around so they also want someone one day could wake up and boom the money out of their checking account is gone i don't know just asking some questions where's the national outrage because if you look at a group like occupy wall street the protests remained pretty much silence about the same have global collapse they don't see the connection what what what what why is it just because they're illiterate financially you know i don't know i know some very sharp people that i've seen alexis goldstein occupy the s.e.c. sharp person these are the type of people that need to sort of stand up and say what is going on so you know you've got a look at this what i see right now i see the core integrity of the u.s. financial system at stake it's not about the futures industry the little commodity industry that no one ever pays attention to it's about the u.s. financial system as a whole and will learn things about the too big to fail banks they benefit few you know what they're doing benefits a very slim group of people and i think it harms everyone on wall street so i think
11:54 am
it's time for people to stand up on wall street stand up and financial services you know i can fire wall street they need a message but you know tearing apart capitalism in my opinion isn't the most. i'm seeing more and more stories work well and coming from different academic studies different industry related studies suggesting that part of the problem is that the people in this industry are classic sociopath or psychopaths they're reckless the rogue whether they're drug in a hole or whether they're just psychotic is still room to be debated but how do you get rid of that element of a substitute path that is tearing themselves apart there on a suicide mission they're destroying themselves as well as the industry how do you deal with that as a professional your fellow professionals are like charles manson of industry i think you did with that that's a riot max but here's my observation and you know when i give observations an
11:55 am
opinion sometimes just based on. my individual life experiences i've run into very well let me just credit for success with all this research interrupted martin i mean i'm quoting so you from editorials from the wall street journal's another in the financial times not i know who are reporting on this i rather think i know the wall street guys like i know the chicago guys like they're reporting on a trend that psychopath ology is up the root of the of the folks that are running these futures desks so it's a problem that has to be dealt with is it dealt with drugs that they're obviously not going to regulate the the futures traders there's no regulations of them oh and around the world people are resorting to other forms of political organization because no one's now is doing anything about this so you're in the business how you deal with your sprawl psychotic ok well i actually think good regulation is the way to deal with it you know and i'm in favor of good regulation intelligent regulation i think where we're going now and here's the warning that the main street of wall
11:56 am
street needs to understand look at all these protests they're coming in for a reason but i think one of the regulators are captured and now we just turn a blind eye to what's going on but actively work on the behalf of too big to fail banks and and there is a s.c.c. document scandal where essentially the f.c.c. apparently worked on behalf of john kors on to limit disclosure of their material so over and get exposure before a bond offering so why don't we just go down to the f.c.c. and some of the regulators down there and put a sign up front that says this is a branch office of a too big to fail bank it's not a government office anymore i think what needs to happen is i think the regulators need to be independent i think it can be cleaned up i think just independent regulators you know what prosecute someone ok you know not prosecuting people for obvious crimes obvious crimes in my opinion is a crime itself. no but fraud has become the biggest profit center in corporate
11:57 am
america and nobody is going to going to you know that assume will destroy it if that is the case if that is the case the system will destroy from within ok so take note i don't really know your city i like chicago don't destroy my culture and that's where we're headed if the too big to fail banks aren't stop this is in my opinion brazen fraud people intelligent people in financial services professional investors they're watching and off global are you kidding me if there isn't a prosecution this is going to be a damnation of the us financial industry and it's going to impact everyone and it's going to benefit a very slim group of people the time to stand up is now yeah one hundred forty billion of bonuses last year based almost entirely on fraud that's it's up against anyway mark malloch brown of time thanks so much for being on the kaiser report my
