Ben Bernanke charging $200,00/hour to talk to bankers on the speaking circuit (Getting his cut)

Bernanke used to make $200,000 a year during his eight years as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He can make that in a single hour now on the international speaking circuit.

He left office in February. By March, he was making up to three stops a week around the world.

" making up to three stops a week around the world"

After robbing and raping this country blind, and passing trillions on to the bankster gangs, he gets millions for "speaking fees." Another way to do it is the "book scam," where you write a book, get a few million in advance fees, and no one actually reads it. Just another way to launder money. These people need to "no longer be in positions of power," to put it in a polite way.

What could he possibly have to say that everyone has not heard before? I’d LMAO if no one booked him to speak anywhere!

At $200K/hr, the buyers should at least expect the truth. Well, they’re not gonna get it.
