The “Raid”

The time is important because this is somewhat of a dynamic situation some facts of which may be clearer and/or more complete by publishing time let alone by the time you get around to reading this.

SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENDED READING ADDITION

I just added Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction by David Enrich to the Recommended Reading List.

Enrich is currently the Financial Editor of the New York Times and prior to that held a similar position with the Wall Street Journal.  In other words he is the real deal and has worked in a high position for both a liberal and a conservative publication of world renown.  Especially if you have a finance, accounting or banking background you will find this book fascinating.  Whether you do or don’t you will find it terrifying.  The unveiling of the web of personal connections alone is worth the time it will take you to read it.
