  1. …particularly following Minerva’s prediction that Lehman Brothers would fail.

    That one already gave the hint why he was detained. Some top brass think he caused a huge chain reaction because of his prediction(s).

    Question tho, why is it if someone predicted a new technology to show up, that person doesn’t get shares? So unfair…

    But if someone predicts something negative, we get jailed for it? Ok, good thing I put down my earlier blogs where I predicted the tsunami earthquake… only HOL, LU, and dme people were aware of that old blog with the said prediction. I don’t want to get jailed because I did not warn the world.

    The last thing a blogger would want is to have his ass jailed for what he’s written. Maybe this blogger is influential to most Korean economists who has his opinions taking his word for it. But really, it’s not like libel or anything.

    I predict that this economic crisis will be severe enough for the current korean administration to collapse along with it. They must know this already. oh the fear.

    Park predicted something which eventually came true! Thats an incredible service he did to his fellow countrymen.

    Govt.s (all over the world) have a bunch of crooks and genetic criminals. They want to prevent and suppress the correct news (truth) reaching the masses.

    The entire crisis is the “handywork” of such criminals and irresponsible governments.

    Only GOD can save humanity from such criminals

  5. You got me scared there for a bit, Mike. LOL. If ever they’ll jail me for messing up the country with my blog posts, they should first go after the people who manage the economy. Because if the Philippines is screwed up, it’s because of them and not me. Hehe.
