Go to www.Deepcapture.com to see the latest salvo from the Deepcapture team. It's nothing short of brilliant. First read the new article on the Bear takedown, then scroll down to the topic of this blog - the contest.
A contest, with real money, for those with enough brainpower to get exposure for Mark Mitchell's expose of the powers that be behind naked short selling.
A thirty thousand dollar grand prize for the best effort. A sliding scale from there.
This will reward folks who put some back into ensuring that Mark's extraordinarily damaging revelations see widespread exposure. If you haven't read it, you should, as it names the names, the dates, and tells the story of a press that is more bent than a silly straw. In it, you have international criminal syndicates working with hedge funds, who in turn use their captive cronies in the NY financial press like toilet paper, to spread toxic waste into the mainstream without regard for truth or the law.
The contest is straightforward, and should create some interesting opportunities for people who are clever, internet savvy, or marketing driven. There are no rules other than that any attempts to get it exposure that break the law will be disqualified. Go read about it, and then get busy. Cash talks. This is backed with cash. Want to strike a blow against those that have been robbing the system and gaming your retirement, and get paid to do it? This is your chance.
Good luck. May the best man or woman win.
