Out in West Texas, they’re rolling faster than wagon wheels on a Wells Fargo stagecoach being chased by banditos.

Newspaper Tree reports that both Roberto Gerardo Ruiz, a.k.a. “Bobby” Ruiz, former Managing Director for the Dallas, Texas office of Bear Stearns and Christopher Chol-Su Pak, a.k.a. Chris Pak, former Vice President in the Dallas, Texas, office of Bear Stearns, pled guilty. We’re talking wire fraud and bribery here. And the intended targets shouldn’t be new to followers of corruption nodes in town: the El Paso Independent School District, the El Paso Community College District, the City of El Paso, and members of the El Paso County Commissioner’s Court.

We still don’t like the existence and purpose and framework of the Commissioner’s Court.

The El Paso Times continues, suggesting that public officials are being targeted for corruption. What? Corrupt public officials? Here??
