Wow. More than McGraw Hill got paid for all of BW...
I think , Steve Adler has political agenda ,he will use Reuters to convey his objective.
Steve Adler using name Stephen J Adler in another role as Director Executive of CFTAU,
with email address stephen@cftau.ca, his duty is to provide financial support through fundraising.
There is no wrong with his duty at CFTAU, but he breached Reuters code of ethical Journalistic
I ask Alix Freedman , James Smith, David Thomson and Pehr Gyllenhammar to review this matter,and making public disclosure.
I think , Steve Adler no better than David Schlesinfer
His objectives is obviously utter lack of Intellectual and ethics as well.
I believe, he doesn't understand what Ethics is.
