While Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has a day job printing money by writing checks out of thin air that he shovels to Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, which then dilutes the value of the money in everyonelse's pocket, Bernanke reportedly doesn't like anyone diluting his personal checking account funds.
His wife, Anna, had her pocketbook stolen in a Starbucks by a tool, Lee Reid, of a "master criminal". Sounds just like Bernanke so far, doesn't it, "master criminal" and all?
Since he alerted his bank, Bernanke didn't lose any money. So how is he handling the situation?
"It's fair to say he was not pleased," Newsweek quotes one close associate of Bernanke.
Hey, just like the people who are not pleased with Bernanke's act and want to end the Fed.
