obama cleaning up??

Real estate? Chicago? I would say someone made him an offer he could not refuse.

Here is another one that stepped out

Sounds a little fishy to me!

(no pun intended)

the bodies aren't done falling in this whole mess.

sounds like it :thumbsup

I saw that yesterday, but according to this article, his company in not in dire straights ? Unless they will find something now.

Money is not everything! it helps but if you dont have love you have nothing!

Wonder what kind of mess we will find.

maybe not, but if you have love, but are broke your life will be miserable. Unfortunately, the way the world is now you need $ or you are fucked. You may not need to be rich, but if you don't have enough $ to live no amount of love will make your life better. Love will not pay your rent/mortgage, food and all your other expenses. Also, if you're broke the one that loves you will, in most cases, bitch at you because you have no $, you can't take her out or whatever.

it's really a homicide, they didn't do a thorough investigation

better to stay alive

'Godfather' quote?! :1orglaugh

this makes the assumption that your loved one doesn't understand your situation.... not all women are like that... most do understand (if you will at least talk to them about your problems) and are willing to work with you to get to a better place. After all sharing your life means sharing the good and the bad times. Your life is what you will make of it and while money will buy comfort it won't buy happiness. :2 cents:

Is anybody seeing the Great Depression in all of this yet?

How long until stock brokers, CEOs and all the rest of these "tycoons" start throwing themselves out of office buildings?

The vapor of profitability floating on the ocean of debt that is the US economy is burning off in the bright light of reality.

That doesn't sound too Good.

Just a little Chicago style house cleaning

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Apparently it's a trend lately. This was the second one from Chicago I heard about. Here's a bilionnaire in Germany just two days ago.

It might turn into a homicide investigation, you never know.

awww, i just fell in like with you *blushes* you speak the truth

This is not a US isolated situation. It's a global recession.

Well, apparently he refused..

Yup, it occured to me :2 cents:

thats very sad. he sounds like a great guy. he was married with kids too. hmmm. suicide and no note? seems more like a murder mystery.

Something tells me Madoff will not be ultimately dying of natural causes either...

I understand that, but all I'm saying is that without $ these days we'd all be seriously fucked. As much as love can be good there will be many problems if there's no $. It may not be anyone bitching at you, but both people involved will feel sad, stressed etc.. Love ain't enough to make life great. you may need it, but it's just a small part of a very big picture. Yes, money will buy comfort and while many wouldn't agree it can buy happiness.. It won't buy love, but it will buy happiness. It might be temporary happiness, but it's better than nothing. How can you be happy if all you're doing is worrying and stressing about bills, food, gas, rent/mortgage etc..? happiness needs a combination of things in order to work and money can help.

I wasn't saying that all women are like that. I guess I should have been more specific, but I tend to miss a few things. haha :)

he needed 400M to save his companies after bad investments in volkswagen. Banks didnt wanna give him the money.

I wonder if underneath the appearance of success he had something shady going on, that will show up now that he is gone.

I didn't mean to say that this was limited to the US. But a depression in the US causes a worldwide recession.

We're the credit-obsessed consumers of the world's goods and services, remember?

Just being rich doesnt automatically make you happy.

yup I saw that, but if you read very carefully what I wrote , I was not reffering to the german:thumbsup

"I saw that yesterday, but according to this article, his company in not in dire straights ? Unless they will find something now.":winkwink:

Everyone has his reason
