I'm still trying to discriminate between "leveraged" stock deals,

and "buying on margin". Besides the facts that both caused huge financial damage and involved essentially borrowing money beyond your means or willingness to repay to gamble on investments that went belly up.

It's that "ventral float" thing I guess. If it works, it's Wallstreet Wizardry. If it fails, it's Chapter 13.

Nope, majroj, greed is not illegal and toppling the American financial markets and destroying her economy is not terrorism.

Go figure.

Have to find the tipping point between lying and stealing.
