    I’ve said before in some chats with friends that the worst enemy of the free market is capitalism itself. One of the core selling points and myths is that it enables greed to develop the utility of things. Really tho if you are a winner in the market you can employ a win more type strategy and this is an example. By removing transparency one is able speculate and extract better. Who better than the wealthy to take advantage of this too. They have the spare cash and the solidarity to boot.
