While it’s true that Brian Hunter lost a record-setting $6 billion in two weeks, that was other people’s money. He still got to keep the hundreds of millions he earned running the energy trading desk at Amaranth in happier times. And there are rumors that he’s raised hundreds of millions from Arab investors to fire up his new hedge fund, Solengo. So we were more than a bit shocked to learn from Greg Newton that Hunter has opened up shop in a worn-down strip-mall on the outskirts of town.
Newton, who mans the helm of the Naked Shorts blog, writes that he took a trip up to Calgary over the weekend to scope out the new space. The Solengo Headquarters are conveniently located a stone’s throw from “George’s Barber Shop” (which is closed indefinitely) and a colon hydrotherapist, according to Newton.
We don’t want to ruin a good gag, but we’re not sure that any of this took place outside of Newton’s head. To begin with, we’re pretty sure you can’t really open the windows on a G-V. Although DealBook seems convinced it did.

Is it a coincidence that you guys ceased the “Comments of the Week” feature around the same time as Solengo served you with papers?
yes, lee d, solengo said they would drop the suit if dealbreaker dropped comments of the week.
I knew it!
Seriously though, since you’re back to mocking them, does this mean that It’s On Like Donkey Kong again?

I believe the proper pronunciation of Solengo is
Sah l mon B o ie.
Such as Salmon Boy can not find a prime broker, not with a truck full o loonies.
I wonder if the colon hydrotherapist gives free service to the Arab investors after they get ass raped.
Maybe the “Arnage” should be renamed the ‘Carnage”?
