: One by one, some of the Wall Street richest and most powerful folks slide out of the back seats and, glancing around them to ensure they aren’t being observed, quickly enter a mansion to attend a secret meeting, according to The Guardian. It may sound like a scene from a movie, and eerily like the events from the 1957 high-level mafia get-together at a sleepy upstate New York hamlet that finally confirmed the existence of organized crime. A fleet of shining chauffeured limousines pulls up. But it really happened, first last August, and again last December, in New York City. The Wall Street representatives participating in what one newspaper has described as secret summit meetings included Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, Warren Buffett and the heads of three of the world four largest asset management firms. Whether you believe it or not, the point of the hush-hush gathering wasn’t to corner the gold market or any such silliness, but to protect us all from the more toxic elements in the financial world, and their short-term thinking.
