Welcome to Crony America: Hedge Fund with $146 Billion in Assets Gets $22 Million Government Subsidy
If accurate, that was/is a sweet deal.
Obviously, Comey is innocent. He even has a halo in the photo at the link you posted.

Hedge Fund Billionaire Ray Dalio Steps Up Foundation Giving
Check out the amounts...
LOL! I’ll tell you what, I wasn’t going to break out the tin foil chapeau for this one, but now....
I hope someone/something honorable is taking a good, hard look at that crash.
FWIW
Bridgewater is said to be the world’s largest hedge fund (NYTimes) and among it’s accounts are “Sovereign Wealth Funds”.

All of the lips at Bridgewater just got sealed.

Very unfortunate day for this family.
Weirdly, I find it comforting that they all went together. It would have been horrible if one of the sons lived and the rest died or any one lived as the lone survivor. I think having the entire family in heaven at once should be a comfort.
I notice the subtitle of the article is “House Republicans might want to think twice before taking on the FBI director over Hillary’s emails.”
I've always wondered about Comey's timing with his pronouncements on Hillary's emails. That last announcement just prior to the election seemed unnecessary to anyone who was in Hillary's camp. Perhaps he has a modicum of conscience?
Does this seem a lot for an airline that owns a handful (3? or 6?) of airplanes?

Well, who is most likely to be a passenger in a private jet? Ordinary middle-class people? No, they fly commercial. The rich are the ones who lease a private jet, or take a rented plane for a short hop.
But they were Eco-friendly crashes..................

Bingo. These were wealthy New Yorkers who (judging by their photos on the web) frequented the sidelines of Jets games, sat in front rows seats at Springsteen concerts, and took private jets through Costa Rica. Unfortunately, the risks of each privilege are not equal.
very interesting!
Billionaire Ray Dalio has already built the world’s biggest hedge fund firm, Bridgewater Associates, which manages some $160 billion. He is now also building a large philanthropic foundation. According to the most recent public tax filing made by the Dalio Foundation, Dalio contributed $400 million to his foundation in 2013, pushing its total assets to $842 million. The foundation ended 2012 with $590 million in assets.
With an estimated net worth of $15.4 billion, Dalio is the second-wealthiest hedge fund manager. George Soros is the only hedge fund manager with a higher net worth.
In 2011, Dalio signed the Giving Pledge, a campaign led by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to get the world’s richest people to give a majority of their wealth to philanthropy. “We were lucky enough to have experienced the whole range of financial circumstances, from not having any money to having a lot. Fortunately that happened in the best order,” Dalio and his wife, Barbara, wrote in their Giving Pledge letter.
Oh my gosh, that photo breaks my heart.
I hope it’s just a Federal Witness Protection Program cover.
Mine, too....................
Another company saved a lot of money on a golden parachute. And another potential loose end witness tied off.
The other family that was killed we’re Doctors at Morton Plant Hospital...
