Get a Free $25 - Expires Tomorrow (5/15)
Last month, I wrote about Revolution Money Exchange and how you can get $25 for two minutes of your time. The 10,000 foot view is that the company has some very important people in the banking industry trying to start-up a competitor to Paypal. Paypal has been around a long, long, time and has the power of Ebay behind it. This company realizes it’s facing an uphill battle, so they are willing to buy users with a free $25 for those willing to take those two minutes to sign up.

Stamp Prices Going Up
The price of stamps goes up an entire penny on Monday. If you use a lot of stamps you may consider buying 100 of the Forever Stamps at $41. This will save $1 vs. buying them next week.

Oops I Lost 7 Billion Dollars
This piece of news caught my eye this morning… a single trader blamed for 7.15 billion USD fraud at French bank, Societe Generale. I don’t know about you, but if I lose $10 through some kind of fraud, I get pretty upset.
I can’t help to think about the scam in Office Space to sweep the breakage from several accounts. The problem was that it worked too well and the parent company would notice. That was only a few hundred thousand if memory serves. Perhaps they could have gotten away with a billion or two more.
How do […]
