Thanks for the link.
Death threats & they still have to expose their names to the public!!!!
These investors received no TARP money.

Wow, so now the judge is coercing them to back -down on resisting the Obama admin plan.

The Feds are going to end up owning all the biggies (through our tax dollars). I see China and other countries getting lots of new investment money from US investors since investing in anything the Feds may have their hands in is VERY risky for investors. So sad for us.

I think the Chinese flat out told the US that if there was nothing tangible to back our debt they would not buy anymore. Now the govt. owns GM, Bank of America, etc. If the US defaults, the Chinese can make a case for settling on the tangible assets. All your govt. is doing is selling your country away (for pennies on the dollar) right in front of your eyes, and many of you are too stupid to see it.

The death threats, i believe, were in the form of a handful of internet rants, which, in the lenders' minds, constituted death threats. Thankfully, the judge dismissed the motion to keep their identities sealed in a bankruptcy case.

If those same exact pseudo internet death-rants are some sort of litmus; i hereby declare 90% of C-D posters mentally insane.

Just to make sure we are clear - my point was that private investors will take their investment money overseas.

Oh, a lot of us see it.
But you are right - a lot do not or there would be even louder screaming.

BTW: "selling your country" -- You are not from the US?

LOL - where is that laughing icon?

Seriously though, for what advantage or purpose should their names be made public? So they media can create a feeding frenzy? So groups can descend on their homes like the AIG execs?

We need people to invest in business in the US. I just can't see the increased creation of a hostile business environment.

You must have missed Obama's last Press Conference when he clearly stated that he is not into running the auto and banking industries, he went on to say that he has enough on his plate...
