1. Russias finest shit stirrer. Everything he said back then culminated in “buy gold” because that’s where all his money was. These days he’s peddling bitcoin.

   The lad is every bit the self invested vulture he accuses everyone else of being.

2. Tbf he knows his shit but sadly is now a Russian stooge

3. He made a right tit out of Pat Rabid.

4. This is hilarious. Henry Kravis of KKR was in Dublin because they were just after buying Avoca Capital, a Dublin investment manager. They weren’t there for any distressed debt investing. Heck, KKR aren’t even really in the game of what we typically know as vulture funds.

   Source: I met Kravis on that trip.

5. HAP is one of the best things to happen for investment firms operating in Ireland. Guaranteed rental income from the deep pockets of the state? Yes please, thank you FG! It has the added bonus of adding pressure to the private rental market too, meaning they can receive higher rents off of individuals too and all new properties coming onto the market can jump in at these highs, and most new apartment developments are buy to lets which are probably being bought in bulk

   I honestly can’t tell if this is all by design by FG, or if it’s mostly incompetence and shortsightedness. Anyone who votes for them is actively voting to take away wealth from their own country and encourage gouging of other citizens either way

6. Had a person here only last week trying to defend Vulture funds/hedge funds/prime brokers as if they wernt the biggest white collar criminals of the planet.

   He then turned and said because I had a pension, I was just as complicit as them.
