Thanks Smarty - glad to be here! Great coverage to date, I'm a fan. And I'll be even happier if/when the feds hit with both barrels.

Folks, I hate to say it, but I'm starting to get the impression that virtually nothing is going to come of this investigation. No major arrests, nobody 'going down', etc. Don't get me wrong: there are more than a few people I'd like to see be led away in cuffs - including fat boy and the Hudson St. Hag - but I just don't see it happening. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
