The Robin Hood Foundation - what a bunch of thieves

Thinking of doing something for the good of humanity (and the tax break)? Whatever you do, don’t give your money to the Robin Hood Foundation, that scam of a charity where people like Paul Tudor Jones are outright thieving from the impoverished people of our fair city. How so? Well, half the money in Robin’s rainy-day fund, which has grown from $20 million to $144.5 in less than ten years, is invested in hedge funds run by Robin Hood donors or board members (Jones, Blankfein, Stevie Cohen, Dick Fuld, Jeff Immelt, Robert Pittman, other plebes), who collect 2 and 20 for managing the donations to the fund. Ergo, these snakes are walking into homeless shelters and robbing the places blind, Pittman especially.

Robin Hood’s 2005 tax filing shows that a stake in Tudor BVI Global Fund Ltd. Grew to $10.07 million from $8.78 million a year earlier, and that an investment in the Tudor Futures Fund grew from $5.03 million to $5.76 million. A stake in SAC Capital International Ltd. ballooned from an initial $15 million in 2004 to $23.9 million by the end of 2005.

David Saltzman, Robin Hood's executive director, claims that both Jones and Cohen (and the crooks they have on payroll) were paid for services rendered because their funds “don’t allow for charging some investors and not others.” But what do you expect him to say? He’s employed by people who steal from the needy. Grassley, in all his “I don’t take no sh*t from no hedge funds” glory, offered: “I don’t remember Robin Hood keeping two and 20 as his cut,” which makes him sound pretty, pretty, pretty bad ass, until you realize that Robin worked for James Simons and actually took 5 and 44 as his cut, and Grassley’s just ignorant. (I went there).

I bet you those people gave more than they managed.

I'd have to see more solid evidence that they are defrauding anyone.
