GLG Partners is BACK IN THE GAME. So, okay, the firm has witnessed a mass exodus of personnel, (including “star” portfolio manager Greg Coffey, who resigned, then came back then resigned again all in one week’s time). Okay, it expects to suffer a similar mass exodus of money (investors are likely to pull half of the $7 billion in assets managed by Coffey when he leaves). Okay, it’s run by a CEO who works under the assumption that former employees are sent to live on a farm after they abandon him. That’s all immaterial—the London-based hedge fund recently made an investment that will assure it can’t lose. PaidContent reports GLG has taken its fate into its own hands, by infusing GodTube, the Christian online video sharing and social networking site, with $30 million. Though GLG declined to comment, we have it on good authority that G-dT.com got the idea to pitch GLG after receiving an anonymous tip about senior management’s grassroots initiative to rescue Mike Seaver from captivity, and offer him the position of running Coffey’s portfolio upon his departure.

Who is that guy Kirk Cameron, and why is his autographed photo part of this article???
a little google, wiki would have ansered that question. Appartently a child star who became an evangelical christian in adulthood.
@3:04 Another one lost to the “good” side.
You little sh*ts don’t know who Kirk Cameron is/was?
Wow, is Kirk Cameron’s career so forgettable that no one remembers his role as “Mike Seaver”? Through his compelling characterization, he single-handedly helped millions of today’s youth prepare for the trials and tribulations of adolescence and the embarrassment of having your parents catch you masterbating. Mike Seaver is a true American hero.
May 8! 12:55, catch the f*ck up.
