I know it's a work day... and this SCAM needs to be watched, but I have to tell you I've watched all the conversational traffic about Ms. Kreidel, and all, and I am about as sickened as I know how to be.

I'd be willing to be the first to admit that I have found this whole sorrid stock scam masquerading as a lawsuit to be fascinating, like a train wreck. Mr. Penrose's tragic suicide was a little over-the-top for my taste, and this latest news is really too horrific for words.

I wonder if it's about money. I wonder if it's about scandal. I wonder if it is just a coincidental outbreak of mental illness. And I know, too, that the answers fall pretty clearly into the category of things that are none of my business.

The families involved get nothing but sympathy from me in any case, (not that that does them any good at all, I know).

I am left with nothing to say, anymore, because heretofore I've been inclined to heap nothing but scorn on the people involved with the stock scam, and this leaves me feeling like that may be entirely inappropriate just at this time, because in the face of the current tragedy, the stock scam hardly matters, I think. It was never worth anyone's life.

I've known, since very early on in my involvement with watching this case, that when it ended all sorts of ugly, greedy machinations would be revealed. Now I am beginning to believe that it will be far, far worse than I had ever imagined; indeed, I'm thinking it is going to get so ugly that decent people won't even want to know.

I do believe that this event is yet another signal that the bits are flying off this train wreck far too fast to see. This fiaSCO is coming to its conclusion and instead of wanting to watch and celebrate, now, I just want to avert my eyes.

Peace, all.

I'm going to try just lurking for a while....
