CIA Wants You, I-Banker

(Newser) – The CIA is looking for a few good bankers to track down millionaire bad guys and stymie financial terrorism, the New York Post reports. Ads on Bloomberg Radio ask money whizzes to use their “intelligence for the work of a nation.” The $160,000 salary will probably be a pay cut for most applicants—provided they still have a job. Interviews will be held at an undisclosed New York location.

We had a friend years ago that was a CPA that went to work for the FBI because they found that CPA's and I would now presume bankers know how to follow the money.

That is a joke... a bad joke. The Feds track money trails like comatose bloodhounds. That is why the Patriot Act had so many new layers of investigation authority regarding financial transactions. And they obviously do a poor job. Look at Bernie Madoff. Bring in the Mossad- they don't miss a thing and they already tap our international financial systems. The real money pays off any troublemakers so the truth never gets out. Investigate the SEC and FDIC first how 'bout? We are all taking it in the rear amigos.
