  • Explain This To Me

    I don't get it. To paraphrase the joke about New York City having more lawyers than people, there are a bazillion money managers out there.

    If you're going to insist on letting someone else manage your money, why on earth would you entrust it to a skeezball guy who ran a hedge fund into the ground and made Time Magazine's List of "25 People Most Responsible For the Financial Crisis?"

    Who would want to invest part of their hard-earned life savings with someone like this? The fact that this guy is attracting new investors baffles me.
