though the average Greek resident is now braver
that most Europeans will ever be, there are some
heroes who have made their mark by doing

Last fall, James was minding his own business running a commodities-trading firm when the collapse of MF Global began and one day 50 of his clients had their accounts frozen by the scrambling morons who were at that sinking ship attempting to clean up the multi-billion mess created by CEO Jon Corzine. Koutoulas was so infuriated by the blatant screwing over of his customers that he became a fixture at all of the bankruptcy hearings, not to mention a fixture in the dumbfounded media who worked overtime to explain exactly what went wrong at the brokerage firm and why it never should have been permitted to happen.
