Asunto: Re: [unSYSTEM] arrogance of this list
They *at least* indirectly fund US terrorism abroad, along with literally
all major financial buggery. HFT is one of many tricks, and we know where
the profits wind up sooner or later, either by tax or confiscation or
direct investment. Why not ISIS, too? For all I care it's the CIA. These
groups are all the same to me, regardless of acronym or if they hail from
US shores or sandy caves. I judge their actions not their origins.

If Troy had evidence and was a capable man he'd act on it, or at least
share it. He's attention whoring to divide and distract, as is his trollish
role. Look through his replies. They are *all* sarcastic pessimism
undermining whatever unSys was lauding at the time.

I'm happy to be proven wrong. Some hard evidence about this ISIS corruption
"threat" and why you've been holding out on us could start, Troy. :)
