A good article on how the powers can change the rules anytime they want.

So, the state of the CDS, a product created to specifically pay out when someone defaults, is in danger. When that someone is really too big to fail, they make sure that they change the rules. What a skewed system.

Compare this to the OPEN SOURCE of bitcoin. Anyone can read it.

Yes, that's why they're called The Powers That Be. What's your point?
