Big Profits Oil Companies!

With soaring oil prices, it seems that all big oil companies profits are going up. ExxonMobil, the biggest one of all, has once again displayed huge profits. I once heard that they make pennies on every gallon of gas sold. I have to say that there full of crap. The CEO makes more than any other CEO out there. A matter of fact – the whole top management group at ExxonMobil is the highest paid team in the world. And they say they make pennies on the gallon. ExxonMobil isn’t the only big winner; all oil companies are loving these high prices. Every single oil company is producing huge profits.

Funds Manager Fraud!

I was reading an article on the wire about a funds manager turning out to be a fraud. It seems that Robert J. Sucarato was playing the role of a funds manager and stole at least $1.5 million from his investors. Regulators have stated that most of the investors money is gone. The regulators have filed a civil lawsuit against him because he raised that money under false pretenses. At lease Sucarato won’t be able to run with the money. A New Jersey federal judge decided to freeze all Sucarato’s assets, and ordered him not to destroy any documents. His world came crashing down around him when investors started to demand their money. Better luck next time – jerk!
