A free market is not an excuse to lie cheat and steal

Pretending that lying, cheating and stealing are how free markets operate is a bald faced lie. The profit motive does not lead to corruption, human weakness does. But then Communism has only killed 50 million people, and Socialism has only impoverished a few hundred million more. Lets all just hand our destiny over to the state and let it decide what is best for us.

this is the free market at its best..

what do u expect, unregulated markets, and money itself, particularly a fractional reserve banking practices all create this sort of corruption. people are given rewards for making profits, so he did nothing wrong, its the market that allowed such things to take place

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Frys is one of those places I find has some of the worst quality items in my area. I have so many horror stories about that place from other people too. To hear that some putz stole 65 million dollars doesn't surprise me one bit.

No. we should NOT bail them out. They don't deserve it.

Astounding

Astounding that a company would let a lowly VP run roughshod over the entire company. $65 million? Where were the auditors? If Fry's has received unqualified audits, I'd be looking at the auditors for complicity. Is Fry's next to declare total bankruptcy so the American people can once again bail out suited crooks and thieves?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
