Has anyone ACTUALLY READ the charges that Fairfax Financial is bringing upon the most powerful hedge funds on Wall Street? The extent of the manipulation that these Hedge Funds went to to earn a buck is simply jaw dropping.
It is amazing how far the tentacles of the hedge funds stretches, and the lengths that they go through to illegally move a company's share price.
If/when these Hedge Funds are convicted, it will be the biggest story Wall Street has ever heard. The Hedge Funds indicated in the suit collectively control a large percentage of the volume of the NASDAQ and NYSE.
I am shocked that the allegations (especially given the credibillity of Watsa, and the lackthereof at the Hedge Funds) have not gotten more attention throughout the media.
What will this mean for the shady, "nondisclosed" world of hedge funds and the financial markets, when the case hits trial and reveals the extent of the evil practices going on at the top of Wall Street.
The massive Bernie Madolf scandal will look like a walk in the park compared to these Hedge Funds!!
