I know that this is a July article but it has slipped out of the news recently. Add it to the current Puerto Rico bod scandal as one of the Clinton's many "Greed" moves.

From the New York Times: (MARCH 22, 2015)

When Mr. Mezvinsky and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.

The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton, who is widely expected to run for president again in 2016. Some have also contributed to the family’s foundation.

Per the NYT’s article:

There are several examples of Eaglevale investors with relationships with the Clintons. Rock Creek Group, a Washington-based investment advisory firm, placed $13 million from the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and another public pension fund with Eaglevale in late 2011 and early 2012. Rock Creek’s chairwoman, Afsaneh Beschloss, attended state dinners at the Clinton White House in the late 1990s and was a panelist in the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in September in New York. (Her husband, Michael, is a well-known presidential historian and occasional writer for The Times.)

For a brief period in 2013, after Eaglevale had been up and running for about a year, Rock Creek sublet temporary office space to Mrs. Clinton after she stepped down as secretary of state.

Mr. Lasry, a co-founder of the big hedge fund Avenue Capital and a longtime friend and financial backer of both the former president and Mrs. Clinton, said he invested $1 million in Eaglevale. In an interview in his Park Avenue office, adorned with many photos of him with the former president, he said that he recommended that his relative by marriage, Craig Effron, another hedge fund manager, also invest in the fund.

“I gave them money because I thought they would make me money,” said Mr. Lasry, whose $13 billion firm was one of the first places Chelsea worked after graduating from Stanford.

A number of other investors reached by The Times declined to be interviewed.

I’m a dunce when it comes to big finance, especially when it comes to what hedge funds do, but it seems to be pretty dumb to invest in the sinking economy of a very small, poor and over-leveraged nation with limited resources.

“The funds have lost tens of millions of dollars predicting that bailouts of the Greek banking system would pump up the value of the country’s distressed bonds. One fund, exclusively dedicated to Greek debt, suffered near-total losses.”

"shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout"

They trusted Merkel's corrupt government to tell the truth?

Ha! I guess there is no honor among thieves.

However, sharing such sensitive information with friends and family would have been highly improper.

That's just a nice way of saying that Clinton is a crook and a thief through and through.

I wonder if the $250,000,000 loss happened because sweet mother-in-law was too busy stealing $5000 worth of state department furniture? You can never have too many lamps...

Clinton stepped down as secretary of state in 2013 to run for president. But newly released emails from 2012 show that she and Clinton Foundation consultant, Sidney Blumenthal, shared classified information about how German leadership viewed the prospects for a Greek bailout. Clinton also shared “protected” State Department information about Greek bonds with her husband at the same time that her son-in-law aimed his hedge fund at Greece.

It's a variation on Hitler's BIG LIE - "if the lie is big enough people will believe it because no one would lie on that scale."

The Clintons are running the BIG CORRUPTION... no one can believe they can possible be THIS CORRUPT.

But they are... they really are...

Were they part of the cause for ever propping the Greeks to the brink?

This is nuts.

Runs in the family:

According to Politico, Marc’s father, Edward, was convicted for “running a Ponzi scheme.”

In 2002, Edward Mezvinsky pleaded guilty to 31 counts of felony bank fraud after being accused of stealing “more than $10 million from unsuspecting investors, including $309,000 from his 86-year-old mother-in-law,” said Politico. He blamed bipolar disorder, says ABC News.

According to ABC News, Edward Mezvinsky also “fell prey to a number of get-rich-quick schemes,” including a Nigerian scam that involved a chemical that “was supposed to remove ink off of $100 bills.” The New York Post says Mezvinsky spent time in federal prison for perpetrating a “one-man crime wave” by “routinely” pulling “business scams that netted him $10 million in ill-gotten loot.” Politico says that Marc Mezvinsky’s parents declared bankruptcy during the middle of a run she was making for Rick Santorum’s Senate seat. They owed creditors more than $7 million.

Marjorie Margolies walked her son down the aisle when he married Chelsea Clinton because the family is still angry at Edward Mezvinsky, says Showbiz411. However, The New York Post quoted Edward as saying he was grateful to be part of the wedding and said he was remorseful for the crimes he committed. UK Daily Mail says Marc Mezvinsky also lost investors money by investing in Greece while working for a hedge fund.

Maybe investing genius Clinton should tutor the young lad on the dynamics of the cattle industry.
