He was not inside the loop, LTCM was busted on purpose and my
gang with Creemspams help took over the assets for pennies on the dollar. Merriweather was a renegade & to big for his pants and so
he was set up. Ironically he had very good bets but just couldn't hold them , it was the inverse of the short squeeze.
He failed to pay his dues and thought he could outsmart the good
ole boys..many a smarty pants has gone broke trying that, but
don't worry it was mostly Arab money that vanished, we had to
rip them off to help bring them in line for our price fixing
scheme on oil. We like it when the Arabs make tons of money
because they are so easy to steal from.
