But I would go -- -- Chesapeake energy and everybody here's pretty Turkey the -- sorry that story I think.

As a potential to be fairly interest seen in this and I don't.

You'll be clear about it I don't think so let's -- contact the some of -- this company comes out in this CEO ordered according.

He basically disclose find its been disclosed that this guy has basically hedge -- on the side I'd never heard of that as CEO operating management on the side.

-- addition to that is all this talk about the -- highly leveraged.

Which -- you know towards even as the company was started -- the train was coming off the tracks.

-- some people here that would do with there will be with some it would try to do business with have been -- materialize for obvious reasons but you know -- of global Jon Corzine is a lot of talk about you as to -- right.

There are no charges you know you know yes maybe there's maybe the FBI is right yeah the -- that you know he the other can't put together -- -- looks like just mass confusion.

Lot of people here doubted they they're kind of along the lines what we Xbox business was were were first report.

There's a lot of political -- here every major investigative ADHD just about look at -- in this global.

As a tied to the -- to present Obama appointed or whatever Jon Corzine as you know to huge democratic contributed so that's something.

Stuff that's going on here I have to -- because -- among the trying to to drop my martini as the right out the door.
