Mezvinsky......

Mezvinsky has refused to apologize to investors yesterday - despite losing nearly $25 million of their money in a gamble on the Greek economy
Those investors include wealthy Clinton family supporters, some of whom have contributed campaign money to either Bill or Hillary
Mezvinsky persuaded clients to pour cash into the struggling European country in the hope it would bounce back and deliver massive profits
When Daily Mail Online asked Mezvinsky - outside his $10 million Manhattan apartment - he refused to discuss the Greek tragedy
Marc's father Edward Mezvinsky, pleaded guilty to 31 charges of felony fraud in 2001 and spent five years in federal prison
He admitted scamming his friends and family out of $10 million in a Ponzi scheme.

with such insistence if he didn't 'happen' to be Hillary's SIL. I also enjoyed the editorial guilt by association at the end where the author made sure to let us know that this fellow's father had problems with investors and the law. Like father, like son, right?

Having said that, I've read this carefully and don't seem to find anything that even remotely smacks of grift or financial fraud. Have I missed something in the article? To the contrary, it seems he gave bad investment advice that cost his in-laws and a lot of their friends a lot of money. Or is that also fraud?

...we don't know if this is any of that stuff I mentioned. I should have given a "Wall Street news" or "Wall Street failures" option, as one of the things we've always posted on DU and which on DU has always been noteworthy, if not newsworthy (I'm looking at you, Madoff).
