Regardless, these are some HUGE numbers we are talking about here.

As an aside, I highly doubt his sons weren't complicit in this whole thing.
This thread isn't attracting much action, so you are probably right. Not really a joe sixer story.

And, sorry to say this, but the rich families who invested 100% of their wealth in a hedge fund that they'd didn't understand, with a strategy and a history of returns that didn't make sense, and red flags like no SEC filings and a three-man accountancy doing the auditing - they were asking for it.
