Ben Hunt has argued that it's a garden-variety short play and that screaming "fraud!" is stock manipulation.

So I looked that up, and if Markopolos is really shilling now, what a shitty thing to do. That'd be like a climate scientist doing good work for two decades and then getting payed by Shell to claim they were simply wrong all that time.

Regardless, I eagerly await more high-profile instances of oil and gas companies failing to churn a profit.

I'm house hunting right now. I feel like I could save maybe $40,000 by waiting for the market to crash, but I'm donezo with apartments. And I wanna start building equity immediately.
