<<I bet your little 100 share shorts make a big difference to Leon Black's $75 million investment. >>

I love stuff like this. How many times have you heard folks mention that Soros or Allen or whoever made an "investment" in a company, suggesting that they were somehow intimately connected with the deal and intended to watch over operations directly themselves? And moreover, that that was a sufficient condition for sending your hard won dollars in the same direction? Yeah, Black is the Principal and Founding Partner of Apollo Management, L.P. and Apollo Advisors, L.P. and other rleated firms. But could you explain to me what you think the direct involvement of Black will be here, and not the indirect relation via Apollo? This is a drop in the bucket for Apollo, and I'll bet once we learn the terms of the financing we'll see that they (Apollo) got pretty darn favorable terms.
