(90,061 posts)Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer is known for pursuing his investments to the ends of the earth.
Literally. Once, in an effort to squeeze money from the Argentine government, he got a Ghanaian Court to impound one of the The Republic's naval vessels. It took months and a United Nations Court to get it, and its crew of 200 sailors, back to Argentina.
So as you can see Singer does not play around.
And since the beginning of June he has decided that he will no longer play nice with one of the richest families on the planet - South Korea's Lee family - the family that, through its massive Samsung empire, controls 17% of their native country's economy.
Somebody get me some popcorn. This is going to be fun to watch.

Behind the Aegis
(53,959 posts)In Argentina, the president, Cristina Kirchner, implies the Jews, via a Shakespeare reference, are to blame for Argentina's economic woes. While over in Chile, the PLO Ambassador to Chile, Imad Nabil Jadaa, tells participants, at a peace conference no less, that Jews aren't a "real people" and quotes from the anti-Semitic Russian forgery, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion". Even here at DU, we are told the real reason Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is opposed to President Obama's overtures to Cuba is because of the Jews, who don't want "Hispanics" living near them. Of course, as in all examples, the anti-Semitism needs no proof, as it is a matter of fact. There is no need to discuss the blatant bigotry against Jews as it is unimportant to many people.
