STOP SOPA ☣ STOP RWA

Two bills are making their way through the U.S. Congress that would have highly negative consequences for AcaWiki and the public good. Please take action against both.

Many large sites are blacked out January 18 to spur action against SOPA. Visit americancensorship.org to take action against this bill, which is a censorship and security risk for the entire internet. Wikimedia's General Counsel explains how SOPA would hurt wikis.

RWA would prohibit federal agencies from conditioning their grants to require that articles reporting on publicly funded research be made accessible to the public online. This is unjust and would specifically harm AcaWiki by greatly reducing the number of people with access to important literature — access is required to summarize. Please tell congresspeople to oppose RWA.

See AcaWiki:SOPA-RWA for planning and discussion of this message.

An Interview with Bill Bartmann Discussing Bank Failures and Bad Debts 


According to Bill Bartmann, we are amid the worst banking crisis since the Savings and Loan crisis of nearly twenty years ago


Tulsa, OK – The government announces the collapse of another bank, or several banks, nearly every week. “This is the worst banking crisis we have seen in over twenty years,” said Bartmann. Over 75 banks have failed already this year, nearly three times the total of last year.


According to Bill Bartmann, more than 1,000 more banks will fail over the next eighteen months, costing the FDIC nearly $70 billion through the year 2013. Though bank closings are announced nearly every week, the process is lengthy. Bill Bartmann knew about the recent Colonial Bank failure nearly three months before it was announced. “We were offered an opportunity to look at the assets and kick the tires on this used car. We passed on it because it didn’t fit our appetite,” said Bartmann. During the S&L crisis in the late 1980s, Bill Bartmann began his debt collection business and bought assets from more than 800 failed banks.


The FDIC has a very busy weekend once a failing bank closes on a Friday afternoon. They work with the institution to ensure the doors open Monday for depositors to access their money. They must get familiar with the bank’s operations and work with employees to ensure their pay and health benefits. Accounts must be transferred. “The customer in most cases sees it as a seamless transition, said Bill Bartmann. The next day the customer can go to the bank and his deposits are safe and exactly where they were the day before.”


Since the FDIC was formed 75 years ago, no depositor has lost money on insured deposits. The agency recently increased their insurance to cover amounts up to $250,000. “That’s a remarkable history given the chaos our country has been through,” said Bartmann.


Bill Bartmann credits the FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair with the agency’s performance during the current crisis. “I’ve been married for 36 years. If I wasn’t married to my present wife, I would chase this woman down,” said Bill Bartmann. “She has more courage than any chair of the FDIC to date.”


Bill Bartmann expects to see many more banks fail as commercial real estate loans default and local shops we drive by every day go under. Bill Bartmann is the author of Bailout Riches: How Everyday Investors Can Make a Fortune Buying Bad Loans for Pennies on the Dollar. The book recently became an Amazon #1 world-wide best-seller.

Bill Bartmann is more than a Great Financial Success Story; he is a Phenomenal Teacher


Bill Bartmann has helped thousands of people achieve success; his book, Bailout Riches, is a #1 seller that shows how to prosper during an economic crisis


Tulsa, OK – Bill Bartmann grew up poor, was homeless at the age of 14, traveled with a carnival, joined a street gang, and was an alcoholic by the age of 17. His mistakes eventually led to a serious injury which left him paralyzed, with no home of ever walking again.


Does this sound like the typical beginning of a financial success story? Statistics show that most people who grow up like Bill Bartmann end up in prison or dead. Not only did he walk again, Bill Bartmann jumped the curb to end up on a completely different path.


The path led to Bill getting his GED, graduating law school and becoming wealthy in the real estate business, and then later, the oil business. Bill Bartmann was on his way to a good life until OPEC slashed the price of oil, leaving Bill out of business and over a million dollars in debt.


This was just a minor set-back for Bill Bartmann who refused to give up. Bill Bartmann’s wife, Kathy, is also his business partner; together they borrowed $13,000 to buy the first box of bad loans ever offered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Within 3 years, they repaid the entire million dollar debt from the oil business; over the next 13 years they built a company to 3,900 employees with revenues in excess of $1 billion and earnings in excess of $182 million.


Bill Bartmann’s success and vast experience qualifies him to write the book, Bailout Riches, to show people how they can prosper buying bad debts. “Bill Bartmann is more than a great financial success story; he is a phenomenal teacher who has helped thousands of my students achieve success,” said T. Hrv Eker, New York Times Bestselling Author. “Bailout Riches will show you how you can prosper during these tumultuous times.”


Why would someone tell the world about an idea that works so well? “Simple; there’s plenty to go around,” said Bartmann. “Bailout Riches is a step-by-step plan for taking advantage of the biggest profit opportunity of your lifetime.”


Bill Bartmann is the author of Bailout Riches: How Everyday Investors Can Make a Fortune Buying Bad Loans for Pennies on the Dollar. The book recently became an Amazon #1 world-wide best-seller. Bill Bartmann has been named “National Entrepreneur of the Year by USA Today, NASDAQ, Inc Magazine, Ernst & Young and the Kauffman Foundation.
