kbrookfi Blind trust, for me, is nothing to do with financial institutions. It implies implicit faith in an ideal or person. Blind trust is NOT rational and could make you fall for fraud and scams. Beware of to whom or what you give your blind trust. Foresight beats blind trust every time! Jul 20, 2012
