Markets, corruption, failure of regulation and how the Establishment reacts to scandal with denial

By Nigel Somerville, The Deputy Sheriff of AIM | Sunday 1 March 2015

 

I am struck by the similarities between the myriad of scandals on AIM – and now the main market – exposed here on ShareProphets and the various horrendous scandals that we have, as a country, been faced with in recent times. Perhaps it might be seen as a grubby comparison to liken financial wrongdoing to the scandals of abuse with reference to Saville, Rotherham as well as the Hillsborough tragedy. But the similarities are there: the failings are the same and as a country we need to face it.
