Bloomberg is a white collar Criminal. His system is considered legal but it is the worst of crony capitalism. Using an unfair advantage which he built into his Bloomberg Terminals.Some calculate he has made 6 billion in a year from his trading.

He uses his Bloomberg terminals to be ahead of any selling or buying trends on the equities exchanges.
You may have heard of or be aware of high frequency trading. His system is to take advantage of upward and downward movements on any equity. Allowing him and his funds to be ahead of the curve. Maybe Buying before the price is rising to far and out before others when the opposite is happening.
He is making money from nothing, he has never built any physical thing or product except the program for the bloomberg terminal.
You dont become a Multi Billionaire without doing something dirty in their amongst your dealings. Whether it's people like Tesla milking government subsidies for his green things, Bill Gates lying to IBM and stealing his supposed friends base operating system which he turns into mS-DOS or Bloomberg milking the equities market of profits from his unfair position that you me and anyone else cannot obtain.
All Billionaires, Multi Millionaires and people we think of as wealthy usually have done something pivotal and dedidedly dishonest or illegal within their careers. Some will inherit and this may well also be the result of unfair advantages.
Personally I dont think people like Bloomberg care for much else than money and the power it can wield and I dont hink they would make exceptionally good leaders as a result.

Did they shut down his charity? Did he use his charity funds to run up the price of a picture of himself? Did he file bankruptcy multiple times? Did they shut down his "university" and fine him 25 million? Does he rely on foreign banks for funding of his project? Does he charge the govt for staying in his properties?
You are right!
Bloomberg is a loser!

Stan, I never said he was a loser. Dont put words in my mouth even if your assuming that I would think that from what I wrote.. Obviously he is boring and without much of a displayed personality but clearly he is successful. Just I don't think he is clean in the way other people may do. When you run a media outlet I am sure you can suppress somethings about you a bit easier than when you dont run one. Most of the other things you wrote about would never apply to bloomer because he has never produced anything physical except cash and is in no position to charge the government for property usage.

You want to know how I know you are economically illiterate and a total f**king moron?

What you just described would be a total f**king masturbatory fantasy at the Securities and Exchange Commission. It would be THE case of all time. The lawyers at the SEC would cum in their panties and tight-whiteies a dozen times over before the paperwork was filed with the courts.

There is NO WAY they let a juicy target like Bloomberg go untouched if what you say is true. There is no way Bloomberg buys his way out of it. There's too much to be gained by way of reputation and bragging rights in being on the team that brought down a billionaire.

There's the problem - reality informs us there has been NO prosecution of Bloomberg, so what your delusion says is happening simply hasn't happened, and will never happen. It's your fantasy but has no place in reality.

Whatever you reckon.Jd Rockefeller.
I hope it's not because you have a liking for the guy that you feel the need to call someone a moron.
High frequency trading is what it is and that's what he is doing with an added advantage. Last I heard, high frequency trading was not illegal Mr literacy. So what charge are they going to be charging him with?

If you want to base reality on No prosecution equating to nothing bad going on no worries, that's what you would expect. But As stated what he does is not technically illegal so why would there be any charges. Or did you miss that?
I dont think you know what your talking about nor have you comprehended what was written when you go on a rant about criminal charges even when I have written that his system is still considered legal but everyone else cannot do it.

I feel the need to call you a moron because you are representing things that absolutely are not true.

NOBODY has an 'advantage' in trading because if they did the SEC would step in to stop it and/or prosecute people with the intent of placing them in jail. That is the entire mission of the SEC. The simple reality is when one falls afoul of the SEC one will be spending a MINIMUM of $5 million even if one is completely innocent of the charges. That's a hell of an incentive to stay above board.

I have missed nothing. You are crafting a delusion and presenting it as reality and that is absolutely f**king wrong. You simply do not know of that which you speak. All one has to do is look at how Elon Musk barely avoided prison over a mere tweet. What was his settlement again? Why, it was $20 million out of HIS pocket, and Tesla had to pony up $20 million as well.

Also :

• Musk was forced step down as Tesla’s Chairman and be replaced by an independent Chairman.
• Musk is ineligible to be re-elected Chairman for three years.
• Tesla will appoint a total of two new independent directors to its board;
* Tesla will establish a new committee of independent directors and put in place additional controls and procedures to oversee Musk’s communications.

Over a SINGLE F**KING TWEET.

That's how the SEC deals with 'advantage'. The simple reality is you are a f**king idiot that doubles down on stupidity. IF you don't want to be called a f**king idiot then perhaps you should spend two minutes googling what the SEC does, and has done.

Well I get what your trying to impart but what I wrote had been explained to me by someone who should know. They also reckoned he will not be recieving, he will be cut off from some government feed and this was part of his motivation to run for presidency.

Also just so I have it clear, are you insisting that the high frequency trading doesn't exist or his terminals trend identification doesn't /cant exist. Or both?.

And yeah I will look into how high frequency trading is viewed by the Sec. Because clearly it occurs I have seen evidence of it when trading.
Sorry to keep you on this, when you have a moment.

No, you don't "get what I am trying to impart".

For the last time you total f**king idiot :

NOBODY has an "advantage" in trading. If they did the SEC would either put a stop to it, or throw their asses in jail. Period. End of Story. Full Stop.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE EVER SAID.

I furnished a real-world example of what the SEC merely PERCEIVED as an advantage, and what they did to Elon Musk to make an example of him. What your f**king stupidity doesn't let you see is this is what the SEC does. This is what they get off on. If you see anything else in these words, it's because your total f**king stupidity prevents you from comprehending what is here.

You are a total f**king idiot because you couldn't find your own ass with both hands and RADAR. You have no clue of which you speak, yet you refuse to shut the f**k up even after someone comes along and beats the hell out of you with the truth and facts of the matter.

That - and THAT ALONE - is what makes you totally f**king stupid.

Yeah what can you say. I kept it civil.
You cant tell some people the truth. You see I do know a thing or 2 about equities trading on which In the last 4 years have spent between 2500 and 3500 in brokerage monthly.
I also didnt want to tell him about his real world example being factually incorrect and not relevant to this case (that would be me being a f**king economic illiterate again huh). But in his example, Elon Musk actually mislead everyone that he was going to take the company private and that he had funding secured to do so. A clear lie and fraudulent about the direction he was going to take the company. He wasnt fined for anything along the lines of an unfair advantage he was fined for fraud / lying and misleading the public investors. His fine of 20 million as a multi-billionaire isn't much more than a 200 dollar speeding ticket would be to the average person either.

But anyway as a (f**king) economic illiterate I will shut up now.
