Here a paragraph from Flecks piece that may shed a little light on it (g) "Interestingly, Easy Al decided to make this announcement on a day when Long Term Capital, a large hedge fund partially run by ex-Fed vice chairman David Mullins (a master of the universe and buddy of Al's), in essence blew up. They had about $5 billion in capital and they supported about $100 billion in assets. The firm lost over 40 percent in August and TODAY appears to be bankrupt. The reverberations from this debacle will be felt for a while." erg
