Maybe this should be under local color, but the news broke on Friday that this local investment guru and economics professor has lost $134 million in investor funds, and has checked into a local hospital with "amnesia". Funds lost include $10 million in scholarship funds at the private college where he taught. Locally, this is huge news, above the fold stories every day. Unbelievable. The SEC filing made for fascinating reading as well. He sent fabricated statements to the SEC when they started making inquiries. There's a great plan, and then, yeah, I'll say I have amnesia, yeah, that's the ticket. Asshat.
