BTW, all the Dark Pools currently in existence are setup off-shore, out of reach of the U.S. government to avoid any regulatory repercussions.

Does that mean if they fail we won't have to fix them with tax dollars?

No, that means they have to bribe Congress with twice as much to get the bail out.

And what’s with these tax dodgers? Don’t they “Support Our Troops”?

It means the money will be pulled out of the public and regulated markets to be put into these offshore, privately requlated 'black market' equities trading markets. That's what they are in effect, a black market for equity trading.

It could crash the public markets. Highly regulated communist economies first took down their own economic wealth with stupid policies and those economies were eventually replaced in all practical tense with unregulated black markets.

When a communist economy collapses the communism goes with it. Maybe the same is in store for over-regulated socialist Amerika.
