"More important, though, is what the bankers’ pitch won’t say: that your IPO will make Facebook just another chip in a multidimensional casino they run, one that gets seedier and less attractive every day."

nice share.
FB decides to file for a public offering because they would otherwise have to disclose financials anyway because of the number of investors. This guy's proposition, to create a "FB Exchange", while maybe academically interesting, isn't exactly a viable solution to the problem of financial disclosure in any form...

Let's not forget that there's no reason that a new derivatives market couldn't exist even if this new proposed exchange becomes a reality.
