Police raid Milan offices of Moody's and Standard & Poor's
As stock and bond markets across the world tumbled on fears about Italy and Spain, it emerged that police acting on orders from prosecutors had raided the Milan offices of rating agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's as part of continuing investigations into their role in the recent financial turmoil.

Italian shares plunged on Thursday, with some leading firms losing more than 10% of their value. But the closing level of the benchmark FTSE MIB index was not released for reasons that remained unclear more than an hour after the close.

Among the factors behind the share fall was a widening of the risk premium on Italian state debt. The extra return demanded by investors for holding benchmark 10-year Italian bonds rather than the German equivalents touched 3.7 percentage points.

Carlo Maria Capistro – chief prosecutor of Trani, a small Adriatic port – told Reuters that his office was checking to see whether the rating agencies "respect regulations as they carry out their work". The raids took place on Wednesday as Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, addressed parliament on the mounting crisis.

6. I appreciate that but you are missing the point...

these rating agencies are in collusion with the banks and the governments that are owned by them. DO. YOU. GET. IT? It is the big ponzi, and it is all unraveling.

11. Linda Koch Lorimer?

Ok, so I've been doing some research and I found this person to be a person of interest. I can't find out if or how she is related to the Koch brothers. If anyone knows I would like to know. Heres why?

She is a memeber of the board for Mcgraw-Hill, S&P is a subsiderary of Mcgraw Hill, She is or was a part of the "Obama for America" campaign.

It may mean nothing but I'm tring to figure out how everyone is connected here. It's kind of interesting the relationships of the higher ups.
