mike, i also noticed the part about 90% ownership going to the investors. that leaves 10% for these obviously inept fund managers. $2.5 billion * 10% = $250 million to live on. not a bad payday for being sh*t managers.

Mike, I don't understand why anyone should bail out these gamblers. And I'm a gambler. Nobody made up for my $5 bet yesterday when I bet the #5 horse and he won, then got disqualified for shoving the #4 horse into the rail. <G> These guys are geniuses who deserve to become wealthy when they are lucky, and then have their hands out when the luck turns. Hey, you lose, you lose. Also, note how quickly Merriweather went from brilliant to a dope. <G> MB
