    The best phrase of Billy Walters on 60 Minutes.

    I’ve been swindled out of quite a bit quite a bit of money on the stock market. And I bought a lot of Enron stock once. And I got swindled. I bought a lotta WorldCom stock, got swindled. I bought a lotta Tyco stock. I got swindled,” he told Logan.

    His disdain for Wall Street is one of the reasons Walters decided to talk to “60 Minutes” – a chance he says to make the point that the gambling world is not as shady as most people think.

    “I ran into a lotta bad guys, a lotta thieves. I mean, they’d steal the Lord’s Supper. But I can tell ya, percentage-wise, I ran into many more with suits and ties on than I have with the gamblers,”

    The best line was; "if you are in a room of gamblers and can't tell who the mark is, then You're the mark".

    Stock market is a fraud. And the government used taxpayers money to bail them out instead of letting them crash and burn.

    "To me in life, you're either one of two: you're either a hustler or you're bein' hustled. And, you know, there's an old sayin' amongst gamblers: 'If you look around a room and you can't find the mark, you're the mark,'"
