Falling on the Face. Ouch!

The Facebook IPO is proving more disastrous by the minute for the underwriters, insiders and the Wall Street fraudsters. Since the days of the DOT COME bubble, a vast majority of the IPOs worked only the insiders, underwriters and the shills, hacks and crooks who make routine appearances on CNBS.
