Read between these lines:
I have decided to leave Ikos to recreate my vision of a research focused team with talented, experienced professionals. I plan to establish a smaller investment management company to manage family and other assets.
That’s Martin Coward talking about his wife’s hedge fund, IKOS Asset Management.
Martin is serving up to 12 months’ notice with further agreement and goodwill.
That’s his wife, Elena Ambrosiadou. Who last year sailed across the Atlantic with another guy.

[the sound of crickets chirping]
I think he just called his wife a talentless hack.
Offensive to my 9th grade English eyes:
“Who last year sailed across the Atlantic with another guy.”
Congrtats Shazola! Six sentences and 3 comments @ 12:50pm. You must be laughing all the way to the bank.
@4 I didn’t believe the conspiracy theorists at first that Shazbopalubop was the nom de guerre of Greg Michaels, but I’ve since change my mind.
@3 you have the eyes of a ninth-grade Englishman?
@6 Funny indeed, if it were the case of a comma in between grade and English; but alas it is not so.
@7
Unlike the hyphen between “9th” and “grade,” the comma in this case is not strictly necessary.
Interjections, like “alas,” are generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point (!), or by a comma, when the feeling’s not as strong.
@8 Good God, David Foster Wallace is rolling in his grave upon reading your ideas on syntax.
Isn’t this the broad that bought the Maltese Falcon? I would never leave that if so, at least not until she sold the boat.
I guess Shazar thought this post was so awesome that he could pack it in and take the rest of the day off…
