    how to gamble and lose $150 million dollars
    Having a bad day?


    This poor guy ran a hedge fund that lost $150 million dollars gambling uh I mean "investing" in natural gas and oil.


    Here he apologizes.




    .

    Hope things work out for him.

            This is an excellent case study of a full blown sociopath in action.........

            Unreal!, every single word coming from his gloryhole is a lie..........

            Might be the best live example ever to be recorded in the history
            of mental health education.........

                  Only thing he loss was other people's money......

                  He personally lost nothing...........

                  Gambling with other people's money is the way to
                  go as there is virtually no personal risk.......

                    Interesting read

                          grunch questions, i didn't watch or read anything but have seen reference to this guy

                          did he do unauthorized trades? or trades that were beyond limits?

                          did he lie about things? or cover up things?... my massive assumption is "yes"

                          aren't hedge funds blowing up very common? google amaranth, an old client of mine. didn't they already blow up on natural gas? (i dealt with a different guy and non-commodity)
