It had to happen eventually, I suppose.
Annoyed with the lack of transparency exhibited by Blackstone (because how could anyone know that place wasn't a fishbowl of transparency?) an investor in the firm has decided to sue. Color us surprised. There is no way we could have guessed that this was on the horizon.

The prospectus was clear but wordy. I could easily sum it up succinctly; "I'm Steve Schwartman and I'll do whatever the fuck I want with your money."

Didn't even need to read the prospectus to figure that that was what it was going to say. Did anyone think that Blackstone was going to give up any control to some common stock holders?
Hell, was there anyone who didn't think that their IPO represented the peak of the private equity party?
