Comments on: Don’t Hate the Player, Hate the Game http://1x57.com/2009/02/15/dont-hate-the-player-hate-the-game/ I solemnly swear I'm up to no good Wed, 16 May 2012 04:15:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kelcyhttp://1x57.com/2009/02/15/dont-hate-the-player-hate-the-game/comment-page-1/#comment-46 Kelcy Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:51:37 +0000 http://1x57.com/?p=222#comment-46 While a thought provoking article concerning hedge funds, you make it sound like the IC has made major breakthroughs and is completely with it since 9/11. ICES is a superb organization that brings constant innovation through Intelink and yet is constantly underresourced and ignored as a key solution within individual agencies. The arcane processes of the IC are as deep and dark and unregulated as those governing the SEC. ICDs have been written but have loopholes big enough to drive entire fleets through them. Only when the DNI pulls the funding at agencies will they pay attention.

Thanks. You make me wonder about the SEC. I wonder if they have desktop video or a common directory of employees or other basic IT. Maybe we should get an all volunteer team of IC folks to pay a visit to the SEC and help them figure out how to move forward? I wonder if part of the current stimulus package could be used to help them out? I saw the SSA is getting an IT upgrade in the package so maybe the SEC would make sense too.Anyway, thanks for the great article. That is another thought provoking article. Thanks.

Anyway, thanks for the great article.

Silberberg Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:58:44 +0000 http://1x57.com/?p=222#comment-44 I have been following the Bailout and Stimulus very carefully. It appears to me as a casual observer, that many of the lessons talked about above with regard to Madoff, may also have been occurring in the first part of the Bailout, and is only now being recognized. Additionally, I see huge parallels between Madoff and the Peanut Corp of America. Both were flagrantly breaking the law. In both instances, the Government received warnings well ahead of the final act. It would be extremely powerful if IC were able to share these lessons with other branches of Government. Collaboration using similar tools to fight different battles is a winning strategy employed by Police, Military and Corporations. Great article! Alan W.

I've just sent you the draft of my chapter that deals specifically with need for universal use of XBRL for business reporting. Really might have avoided the entire mess!
