From the kind of things they've been quoted as saying in the press
recently, it sounds like several of the top boys at Heritage see
themselves as Gordon Gekko from the 1987 film WALL STREET -- where the
scoundrel was originally played by Michael Douglas, but is now
apparently being recast in a civil law court near you. The whole "Greed
is Good" mentality, etc. And, of course, there was all that shady
behind-the-scenes manipulation of poster prices... I mean stock
prices... I mean... well, this is all getting very weird... what with
biblical references being tossed about and associative sniper fire
starting to come out of the woods (heck, even some dissociative
cross-fire...)

I thought it odd that someone would describe themselves as a
"scoundrel", a somewhat archaic word. I looked it up on google and

Quite a revealing article i came across, published in Forbes,
in December of 2004. It seemed relevant, considering the
current auction houses discussion going on here:
