As recently as the beginning of last week, Tara Bryson worked in the investor relations department of Connecticut-based hedge fund New Stream Capital. A couple days later, the firm, which is owned by her brother, suspended Bryson pending an investigation into the matter of her being arrested for growing weed in her backyard (the narcotics task force referred to the set up as “a complex marijuana cultivation operation capable of producing a marijuana crop year round”). Bryson was charged with possession of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana and conspiracy to cultivate marijuana, while her live-in boyfriend got seven felonies, including “possession of a silencer for firearms and operating a drug factory.” But, you know, that’s just like the cops’ opinion. Hearl clearly being the brains of this operation says he and the GF are innocent and that the charges are “bogus.” And he can prove it with a couple of exceptional excuses.
1. The duo “didn’t have that many plants” and
2. Oh, they’re farmers but they’re not weed farmers, they’re goat farmers.
Hearl said they did have a home business–goat farming. Last year Bryson registered the property with the Connecticut Farm Bureau as Butterfield Farms — named after the street she lives on. The site, promotthegoat.com, says Bryson and Hearl are striving to become a local supplier of goat product including cheese, milk and yogurt. Bryson received a $49,999 grant from the state to help get the farm going. Hearl told Forbes the business isn’t off the ground yet and they don’t have a license to sell goat products. But they encourage visitors to stop by their five-acre lot and visit the goats. The arrest report says they have surveillance equipment on the property.
Bryson and Hearl took their goat farm website down sometime this weekend but presumably they’re still welcoming visitors to stop by (and now that the couple’s 22 cal. rifle, 20 gauge shotgun, 22 cal browning handgun, two 9 mm handguns, handcuffs and about 200 rounds of ammunition have been seized there’s nothing to be worried about with regard to getting gunned down).

So they can go blow goats at their leisure…
That’s right.
spelled promote wrong.
other than that, I have no concerns.
at this point trash fund managers need to sell drugs to keep up with invester withdraws
If they got they’re own water supply I’m in!
Burry AKA “the Big Short”
So David Bryson hired his sister for IR? Where’s the fun in sexually harassing a sibling?
So I don’t need a license or anything. Just get five acres with a couple goats and the state of CT will hand me a $50k grant?
That’s a pretty solid deal.
the endproduct would be spacecheese – the spreadable delight your teenagers will love
It might be fun if you were stoned enough…..
Nothing about this isn’t bullshit. Cops wanna snatch my crops…
Please let this be her:

If they were really dealing drugs they would have had actual guns.
Yo, man, I’m comin’ up to pick up my “Goat Cheese”, dig?

Bess: i say day trip to the farm and Beamers on the way home
Good god, what is the world coming to? This shit happens in Connecticut!?!? When I hear terms such as “live-in boyfriend,” “firearms,” and about one’s residence being used as a “drug factory” the first choices for the locale that come to my mind are generally places where the State flag still incorporates part of the Confederate ensign and where “intelligent design” is a selectable major at the State U.
Kids these days…
Don’t forget the tax break you’ll get from classifying your 5+ acres in Westport as “agricultural land”
You ever been in, say, Waterbury??
i cant believe i wasted my time reading this
Can I churn the butter with my phallus?
Only if you record it to the tune of Weird Al Yankovic’s “Amish Paradise”
Put that on a TRS. Lever it up 5-10x.
don’t let the door hit you on the way out…
investors would have to be on drugs to give these people their money anyway…
Just spent some time in Newtown. It’s not at all like waterbury (and pretty rural and nice).
The key question here is, of course, whether she’s truly hot.
more trash fund garbage………….
Whom do I contact at your esteemed firm to get a sample termsheet?
Why is Forbes publishing this article, wouldn’t it be more appropriate fodder for say, High Times?
Tara is a heavy girl but no that is not a photo of her on Facebook.

This is just a smokescreen to distract investors and regulators from the real improprieties that have been transpiring at Newstream for a long time…
• LED light bulbs are ten times more efficient than incandescent lights, lasting up to one hundred times as long and producing far lower CO2 emissions due to power consumption. They are, however, far more expensive in the initial purchase.lampy do salonu
• Many states encourage consumers to switch to fluorescents, in cooperation with the federal Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency. rn• Fluorescent light bulbs, however, contain mercury. There is enough mercury in one fluorescent light bulb to contaminate 2,000 gallons of water. LED lights, in contrast, contain no mercury and are more environmentally friendly. rn• In 2005, Thomas Edison’s home state of New Jersey distributed more than 1.2 million fluorescent lamps and fixtures as part of its Clean Energy Program. rn• Approximately 22 percent of electricity usage in the United States is consumed by lighting, most of which remains extremely inefficient incandescent lights. rn• New Jersey Assemblyman Larry Chatzidakis has introduced a bill calling for the phasing out of incandescent bulbs from state buildings over the next three years. California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine has announced plans to introduce a bill that would ban the bulbs his state altogether.
