Why do you not divulge the names of either the investment firm, or the owner/individual who "stole" the money? This seems to be common to all "Rip-Off" Alerts with channel 3 (and another local channel here in town). It is a appreciated "service" to the community to provide the generic warning, but it would be far more informative to learn of the businesses and inviduals involved.

It amazes me, you spend your whole life saving for retirement and in one greedy, stupid and dumb moment you decide that you need more. I would never believe the word of anyone dealing with investments but myself.
