Excerpt:
In addition, there is a huge SPV market that goes unmeasured because the products are privately traded and not rated. Though Enron's unrated special purpose vehicles broke the rules, many other companies used such vehicles to legally conduct "off-balance sheet" transactions. "That stuff -- we just don't know how big it is," Gorton says.

A Little History on Romney's so called job creation skills as a Venture (I mean Vulture) capitalist
posted by Greg Chamberlain
As someone who has spent nearly my entire life in various aspects of the music business, I have been disgusted with those like Edgar Bronfman Jr., a wealthy trust fund brat and heir to the Seagrams liquor fortune. He is one man who single handedly destroyed much of the creative energy in the music business and turned it into a more vastly corporate business that litigated against nearly anyone with a creative bone, in his weak effort to grab and seek control.
Just came across a great article by Howie Klein, a former head of a Warner Bros. Records division known as Reprise Records. He get's into detail about how Mitt Romney's vulture capital company, Bain Capital, participated in assisting those such as the above mentioned Bronfman in the further destruction of another great music entity.

Excerpt:
Despite his dubious track record—New York once described him as "possibly the stupidest person in the media business"—Bronfman lined up a second act in the entertainment business in 2003 when he partnered with Thomas H. Lee Partners, Bain Capital and Providence Equity Partners to purchase Time Warner's ailing music subsidiary, Warner Music, for $2.6 billion. Given the bleak economic prospects for the music industry, it was a surprising move, although given Edgar Jr.'s musical leanings, perhaps not.

Here’s an egregiously long post about the Refco implosion of last year and some related topics. This was originally going to be an additional post this thread involving the two topics of Blackstone and the buyout of Clear Channel by the Mitt Romney-founded Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners, but the post has sort of blown up in length into something that maybe warrants its own thread. There isn't anything that directly relates to 9/11 here, other than giving another example of the deep corruption taking place within many significant sectors of the world's financial systems and the important role that the futures market, and derivatives in general, have played in shaping the economy and modern financial fraud.
Refco was the leading US commodities futures trader when it imploded last year. The futures market has exploded in size in the last couple of decades and is a major force in the global economy. It is also a largely unregulated market and appears to be a tool of choice for financial shenanigans.

Such firms are not short of business these days. When the owner of America's NASDAQ wanted to rid itself of the American Stock Exchange earlier this year, it turned to a Chicago private-equity firm for help. The Blackstone Group and Thomas H. Lee, another top-ranking firm, are currently trying to help Edgar Bronfman to regain control of Universal Studios, Vivendi's dabble with Hollywood, now that the French conglomerate wants to shed the farther-flung assets that it acquired during the stockmarket boom.
