Hedge Fund Manager James Dinan Also Turns Out To Be Incredible Problem-Solver

There were whispers at The Breakers resort on Tuesday morning that the weather battering the northeast would prevent James Dinan’s jet from making it to Palm Beach, Fla., in time for him to deliver the keynote luncheon speech to one of the year’s biggest gatherings of hedge fund managers. But it turns out that Mr. Dinan, the founder of York Capital Management, was thinking ahead. The CEO of the hedge fund that manages nearly $15 billion caught a commercial flight on JetBlue to Palm Beach on Monday, a spokesman for the firm said. [WSJ]
