Paul Krugman Hopes John Paulson Is To Blame For Today’s Crash

By Matt Levine

Based on a second-hand rumor that a big hedge fund’s position is getting liquidated because of margin calls. With gold at a new record we’ll guess not. Krugman himself allows that he’d like/hope for this to be the case on account of that BusinessWeek article that implied Paulson might be smarter than him from over a year ago.
