Friends,

I am in the middle of shooting my next movie and I am looking for a few brave people who work on Wall Street or in the financial industry to come forward and share with me what they know. Based on those who have already contacted me, I believe there are a number of you who know "the real deal" about the abuses that have been happening. You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to be a hero and help me expose the biggest swindle in American history.

All correspondence with me will be kept confidential. Your identity will be protected and you will decide to what extent you wish to participate in telling the greatest crime story ever told.

The important thing here is for you to step up as an American and do your duty of shedding some light on this financial collapse. A few good people have already come forward, which leads me to believe there are many more of you out there who know what's going on. Here's your chance to let your fellow citizens in on the truth.

If you have any info that would help, please contact me at my private email address: bailout@michaelmoore.com.

For the rest of you on my email list who don't work in the financial industry, you're probably wondering, "What the heck is this all about? I thought he said he was making a romantic comedy!"

Well, I just can't say much right now. I'm sure you can understand why. One thing I can tell you is that you're gonna like this movie when I'm done with it. Oh, yeah...

So, again, if you work for a bank, a brokerage firm or an insurance company -- or if you have seen things or heard things that you believe the American people have a right to know -- please contact me at bailout@michaelmoore.com.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Michael Moore

3. What does Michael Moore do with all the money from his films?
Like what did he use his Sicko profits for?

4. I'm sure it's not anything he could be screwed over for...
Otherwise it would have happened a long time ago.

5. Agreed. He's so passionate about his subjects though...
I think he could reach even more people if he was using the profits to help the people his movies are about. Maybe he is, I don't know.

6. I recall he sent an anonymous check to one guy who was against his creation of "Sicko"
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 11:01 AM by YOY
Apparently, the guy created a site slamming Sicko and saying our medical system is wonderful. Then the guys wife got cancer and he said he had to close everything down due to financial problems related to medical bills.

Mike sent him a check anonymously. It's both a nice move and a bit of a "told you so if you'd just think about it." at the same time.

I wish he never made it public though...that's kinda schmaltzy for me. Moore does those schmaltzy things sometimes.

11. Well, it "was" anonymous up until he told about it
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 01:53 PM by YOY
Some months up until the moment of the release.
