Nice graphics.
Like most investors, “To long, did not read”
We pay lawyers and ‘those’ other people to do that stuff.

( Heidie, get Marc Dreier on the phone for me. I need to talk to him about something.)
They were visionary, quoting from that Chinese Proverb…”Only when all contribute their firewood can they build up a strong fire” You got that right, you crazy bastards.
“Our partners are a select group of the finest sons of high society, chosen with great care from the world over with paramount goal of inseminating our daughters to acheive a new bread of super-elitist wankers.”
16 You don’t need to read it all. Just focus on page 14, which sums up the entire document: “Our due diligence process is deeper and broader than a typical fund of funds….”
The university (European University in Antwerp, Belgium) one of the partners (Vianney D’Hendecourt) studied at is well known to be a fake school for rich kids. It should have been clear all along …
@20 Ha ha ha – good catch. I once had to look up this university as part of an investigation into fake university partners of an educational scam in another country.
The Belgian education bureaucrats had some interesting things to say about the place.
This document is a plaintiffs lawyer’s dream. God only knows what else is out there.
I don’t know what is more offensive; the laugable claims about their due diligence process or their use of artists, writers, and philosophers to dignify their greed. Disgusting people.
there were lots of clues here, not just the fact that some european dude went to a shady school. this was a sketchy operation. just because your firm has a lot of clients doesn’t mean your’re legitimate. typical example of guys with money who are able to build a business based around their network of people with money but are actually really bad at it. they’ve been up to no good for a while. shoddy work. knew it would be exposed some day.
I feel so much more secure with their handling of my money because they are René fans
WOW

Too horsey didn’t chew.

@10 I believe the term is “native american”
I’m curious what comments are “removed by moderator” considering the fucked-up, ignorant ones you think are appropriate to leave up
One thing for sure, they had taste!
Dear moderator: apologies for the vicious attack. I let my emotions get the better of me.
>> I believe the term is “native american”
Think Asia. Anyways I withdraw the comments.
With all that text and graphics devoted to Detailed Due Diligence, I would trust them with my life savings. Where do I sign up?

@18…I don’t need to read any of it to know it is baloney

@20, yeah..definitely a sign! Wonder if American Universiy in Paris is worse….
@1: The painter is called Magritte, René happens to be his first name..

We do it all for Madoff.
Oh and by the way, the European University in Antwerp now calls itself the International Management Institute. New name, same game.

A job well done, Mr. Chief Risk Officer.
Anyone who invests in a fund with such a cheesy, poseur, cracker-ass name deserves to get wiped out.
