And neither is North. Wouldn't it make more sense to think he got lucky with perfect timing that one time than think he's some sort of shrewd businessmen and that it's shocking he would get involved with a fraudulant huckster's scam? I don't understand how somebody could think Mike North is shrewd, and be surprised that a venture he was involved in starting came to a crashing hault months into it's existence. I mean, it actually makes more sense to me that the only type of person that would actually hire a guy like Mike North as an "executive" at his company is somebody who declared bankrupty multiple times. Seriously, if he was shrewd, why would he even get involved with somebody like that? There's a boat load of shrewd business men/woman who got involved with Bernard Madoff... That's not really comparable.
