I'm torn between fuck you asstrickle, pity and a prayer this guy will learn something

ABC video on Yahoo. Was the top 1% most of his life, hedge fund owner gone bust. Blew through all the money, now delivering pizza, foreclosed on and on food stamps. Someone in better financing still paying for the kid's top private school. I suspect if they go homeless it will be in someone else's palacial mansion rather than sleeping in a beater in the Walmart parking lot.

I'll be honest, I hate the guys fucking guts. But I still hope and pray he learns something valuable so that when this shit he helped create is over he'll be a different kind of person.

And yes, I know I'm being a judgmental bitch. I wish I were progressive enough to go all kumbaya but me and mine have suffered a lifetime because of guys like him. Kind hearted feelings are just really hard to come by right now.

This is a prime example of "greed kills everything it touches".

I mean, SERIOUSLY. $750,000 a year, and at the job before that, he finished at $100,000 a year? From the pictures and the video it looks like he blew asstons of cash on superficial creature comforts (lavish vacations, mansion with pool, cars, boats, country clubs, private schools for the kids, etc) rather than live in an old home first and build up any kind of substantial savings.

I'm not getting why people don't find it in their best interests to first live frugally and attain somewhat of a damned CUSHION before you go spending like Bewsh with a war-on. Why when one has that much money do they feel the need to blow it before it even hits a balance sheet? In any economy, live MODESTLY no matter what your salary. Bullshit creature comforts can be bought later, when your fortune is safe in a money market account and not being pirated and buried on Wall Street.

I understand that in his line of work, risk taking is as common as breathing. But if I'm making 3/4 a million a year, I'm staying and accumulating for as long as possible. How many guys have started their own hedge fund and DIDN'T make it? Way more than the people who did, I guarantee.

that he probably bitches about welfare on a daily basis, even still. No basis in fact and totally prejudiced on my part.

I'd bet a $5 food stamp on it.

at everything that is happening with our current debacle, when it comes to individuals such as this fellow I try to opt for the "prayer this guy will learn something," even if it means jail-time for some of these clowns (not that this guy deserves jail time for his stupidity).

If everyone involved in creating this disaster could "learn something" from the fallout, we will all be better off...even if they have to learn it while sitting in a cell next to Bubba...
