Interesting reading, although I couldn't help but facepalm when seeing
someone involved in investment write the following

Well... yes.

One thing that he observes, and I definitely agree with, is that the
markets have shown that simply building a good reputation by serving your
customers well can lead to a lot of business. There's no need for
monitoring a customer's every move in order to try and predict their
desires - sell something people want, and have a track record of meeting
expectations and customers will come.

Longer term, it'll definitely be a good thing if something other than
arrests comes from outside scrutiny of the various marketplaces.
