I have been steady checking this site since 10:03AM this morning wondering which securities firm is being investigated. Could someone please provide an answer? The judgment link lists Todd Stauffer as a defendant, but I highly doubt he is liscensed in securites.

Welcome. I'm the President of the Fan Club. Please click on the 'Donate' button and lend a hand.

The dude is a one-man writing animal. Please help keep him writing.

I am a bit confused. I was curious as to which firm was being investigated, and now I am being asked to donate to this site. I have seen many questions answered on this site, but never a solicitation for donations from the President of the Fan Club. Considering the fact that Shoegirl just posted, one-man writing animal is factually incorrect. I did not come here to get into a pissing match with you, but I don't appreciate your comment. Does anyone else have an answer to the original question I asked?

Doesn't appear so, and that is unlike KF. I'm waiting for an answer too. And the fan club comment was a joke. We have lots of smart asses on this board and you need thick skin to participate. Stick around, the conversations get interesting and KF's reporting is the best, bar none. I like to call it, All the News the CL Won't Print.

Not typical KF reporting. Sort takes away the integrity thing.

Nobody forces you to read.

We read what we choose, but to elude to some action by the gov't on a financial institution and then not back it up is not typical of KF. He is always right on the money and never dances around. The post on "Surprise" seems to have only donations in the crosshairs.

I've also been known to string things along or break it out over a several week period. Just sit back and enjoy instead of trying to rush rush rush.

You must be new to these parts. KF has been a tease exactly like this since he launched the joint. When you start your own blog to show us all how its done then give us a holler. Maybe a good name for your blog would be Whiny Asshole.

I would guess that if there had been any real government intervention in any financial institution in the area, our beloved C-L would have reported it.

Sure. Right. Go ahead and bank on that. Be prepared to lose your shirt.

Calling someone a "whiny asshole"? Is that you Councilman Stokes?

FINRA's visits are not public, so no one would even know unless action was taken.

Morgan Keegan is the only firm I'm aware of thats been in the news lately. Maybe FINRA decided the local office deserved a look.

just heard on radio: morgan keegan. it's also archived in the clarion liar.

First National in Rosedale seized.

Don't think its Rosedale. Banks aren't regulated by FINRA. I guess we'll just have to stay tuned... anticipation, anticipation... you're making me wait...

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
