Boaz Weinstein Wouldn’t Get Out Of Bed To Screw Someone Out Of Just $12 Million

Literally speechless. Well, not literally...

Saba Capital founder Boaz Weinstein is a man who thinks big. Just ask Deutsche Bank, for whom he lost $1.8 billion in 2008, or JPMorgan, against whom he made a fortune hunting whales. But orchestrate a massive bid-rigging scheme to drive Saba’s already-awful March numbers down by a few basis points so as to shaft the Canadian Public Sector Pension Investment Board out of $12 million? Puh-lease.

While I understand and share PSP’s disappointment with Saba Capital’s 2014 returns, I am shocked by the allegations in PSP’s lawsuit….

This lawsuit relates to a tiny portion of PSP’s investment – just 2 out of nearly 1200 positions, and a difference in value of less than $12 million out of an initial investment of half a billion dollars…. The suggestion that I manipulated the valuation of two bonds for my personal gain is utter nonsense.
