| John Paulson is living under a dark cloud. |
|
It is just a sense I have when I read about him or look at his photo.
The Paulson and Company Hedge Fund is the creature that helped design and construct which toxic assets (sub prime mortgages they knew would fail) to package and sell as supersecure, prime investments. Its president, John Paulson, made a billion in that program. Then, he bet against the assets, knowing that they would tank like the titanic, and he made another billion in the process.
How long will it be before an angry investor starts looking at Paulson? We've already had two investors commit suicide after their investments became worthless.
Please note. I am not, and will not advocate violence, but it strikes me that other than a woman scorned, the most angry and determined person who seeks retribution is usually a very rich person who suddenly becomes dirt poor.
The best result, for Paulson, investors, and the country at large, would be to find a way to try Paulson fairly, and if guilty, to put him in a secure, barred, and permanent location for a very, very long time.
