Greetings from sunny but chilly central Florida. Before I go on Dumbo for the 9th time, just wanted to remind you what we told you from the very beginning about this Bear Stearns trial with Ralph Cioffi and Matt Tannin. We told you these guys weren't the reason the whole world blew up. We told you that we even told representatives at the US District Attorney's office that this case would be tough to win since we knew these guys and what they were about and they weren't about the "typical" Wall Street behavior. More like "Mr. Rogers" than "Mr. Madoff".
Well what seemed in like 20 minutes the jury found them innocent on all counts. We smiled. But really what made us smile the most was that one of the jurors came out a few days after the case was finished and said she would actually INVEST with these guys they were so innocent! Gotta love trials like that. That's called a blowout for the defense. Maybe we can get an interview with Ralph or Matt soon on these very pages. I think we'll get a few comments on the title of this post too. No Al Cowlings and a White Bronco needed in this situation. Case Closed!!
A good many vlaubales you've given me.
