| Feb 15, 2018 at 2:28 | comment | added | ibrahim mahrir | @RyderRude Well, that did happen, but it took 6 years to happen. In those 6 years they accumulated $3,000,000,000. Plus I don't think there would be newspapers or TV channels that will risk publishing news (without actual proofs) only to get defamatory lawsuits from Stratton. | |

Why didn't the name Stratton have a bad reputation? There was no internet but there was television and newspaper. And when several people get bankrupt because of Stratton, they tell their friends, their friends tell their friends..........bad word-of-mouth spreads. | |

The client had never heard of the company he was calling from. But when Stratton became a popular name, there must have been newspaper articles and TV interviews of countless Stratton victims. | |
