Before I went to Law School, I was a broker. Had my Series 7. Worked like a monkey, cold calling people for 8 months. Then, I went off to Michigan and soon thereafter, the SEC shut the whole office down for selling phony stocks. People went to prison. A few years later I saw the film "Boiler Room" and fuck, it was my life on film. It gave me the chills. Same shit, except I was never smart enough to run my own casino. I was a new college graduate desperate to find a job. Google "F.N. Wolf Raleigh Office" and the story should come up. I really liked my boss. He was a brilliant man who used his powers for crime for some unknown reason. He testified against everyone and avoided prison, but soon got in more trouble in his next venture and got 10 years Federal time. He is still serving that sentence. Google "Stan Van Etten" if you don't believe me.
