But wasn't that $25,000,000 profit all smoke and mirrors... a perceived increase in wealth, along with trillions more, that disappeared in a heartbeat when the wizard was exposed?

Much of that profit was created out of irrational exuberance caused by people believing phony spread sheets and worthless derivatives were creating wealth, when i fact it was setting the worldwide financial web up for a fall... except The Bank of North Dakota.
