I think it's pretty telling that this guy was investigated for not consuming the fraudulent crap coming out of Wall Street.
Wouldn't that be like a 1999 startup being investigated because they didn't have exponential growth projections in the IPO prospectus?
- ori_b 18y agoWell, if someone does something completely out of the ordinary for [what the investigator thinks are] no apparent reason, then that should raise red flags to investigate. I'm not surprised he was investigated; Massively different investments, raising money without buying anything apparent, and not trying to cash in whenever possible do point to an anomaly -- possibly even a fraud -- happening. So long as he's not wrongfully convicted, I don't have a problem with investigations.

Yeah, that's the point...that it was extraordinary to behave sanely (as opposed to "consuming the fraudulent crap coming out of Wall Street").
