My $5 Million Dollar Challenges to Tim Geithner and Ben Bernanke

Hey, Donald Trump and Bob Murphy aren't the only ones who can play this game.

I will personally give a check for $5 million to Ben Bernanke's favorite charity, if he allows me and my team to audit the prices at which securities trading was done between the Fed and the Primary Dealers during the height of the financial crisis.

I will personally give a check for $5 million to Tim Geithner's favorite charity, if he allows me and my team to audit the gold reportedly held at Fort Knox.

  5. Need to specify that precision of prices should be to nearest dollar. MBS transaction prices have been released but rounding does not allow calculation of spread to prevailing prices.

      I will personally give a check to Bernanke for $100 billion if the deciding game of the World Series has the winning team win by 45 runs.

      Does this mean I have $100 billion? No, but maybe a chest thumping...

  7. I will personally give our host a check for $5 million dollars if one of the two above offers he made are ever accepted :)

    Yes, that is a safe bet!
