10 Digit Ralph?

That wily Bloomberg again. This time a different hedge fund with a different strategy and a different outlook but the same damn results.
The two hedge funds that Ralph Cioffi managed were so hot that some investors had to call a friend at his firm, Bear Stearns Cos., to get his attention. Cioffi's employer and associates, dazzled by 40 consecutive months without a loss for one of the funds, invested at least $35 million of their own money with him.
::yawn:: Been there, done that, bought the movie rights.
Cioffi was convinced that the securities firms loaded up on new CDOs in late 2006 and early this year, expecting to sell them later when investor appetite improved. By the spring, after dozens of home lenders failed and the subprime mortgage market imploded, the Wall Street securities firms and other CDO underwriters started dumping collateralized debt, pushing their prices lower.

At the same time, those firms ended derivative bets on defaults of subprime-mortgage bonds used as hedges for the CDO holdings, pushing the values of those contracts also lower. That ruined both sides of Cioffi's trade, at least temporarily. Investors in his funds were upset, and they began asking for their money back.

Ooops.

I do not fully understand CDOs and hedge funds, but I'm thinking a hedge fund that invests in subprime mortgages is probably a long shot. I wonder how many hedge fund managers will be going, shall we say, underground?

How does your argument even make any sense?

You are a whiny moron, and the ease at which you are goaded into crying is probably a large part of why people continue to troll this shitty blog. It is more entertaining that listening to Rob's witty mouth farts.

I also stand by the assertation that several "popular" posters are behind a lot of the anonymous posting. Morons.

Why the mess around the Seattle reveal? Easy. I din't have permission OR I didn't have comfirrmation or I was waiting for the right moment OR I thought I could roll it all into one big giant reveal this afternoon along with a bunch or other massive foucused ginormous reveals.


Okay, so which is it? What's the reason? Why is it so hard for you to say 'I heard it from a family member (name) but I didn't have permission" OR "I heard it from (some other way) but I wasn't sure" OR etc. See? Even now you aren't coming through. Why?

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to you and I bet other people would too if it didn't always seem like some kind of stringing along.

OR I thought I could roll it all into one big giant reveal this afternoon along with a bunch or other massive foucused ginormous reveals.

ANNND...nothing. As usual. Why am I not surprised? Oh that's right...because your ducking and weaving has started to make me think you're dishonest.

Give me ONE. GOOD. REASON. why you can't tell us why you messed around with the Seattle reveal, as you call it. Just one.

Without it, I can only assume you want to draw everything out as long as possible because you know the end of the casey saga approaches, and when it gets here that's the end for your blog too.

Dolph said...

I have a theory on why Seattle. Casey is very afraid to go back to California at this time. Could it be the DA? Could it be the FTB? Could it be he thinks he can hide in another state and avoid being served by Mark or G?

Hey Flipturd, The court can send out a notice to your parents that if you don't report, you will be held in contempt. That means ARRESTED the minute you set foot in California again. The court may just decide in favor of Mark and shut your lame blog down. Then Marty could sue or make your life miserable for him losing the book deal.

You can hide, but it won't matter. What's the matter snowflake? Marty not going to help bail you out in court? Awwwww...poor baby.

Think I'm wrong? Look it up, I am sure there are many examples that back up my post.

Also, spending the night in a Seattle hotel is not cheap. I know because you aren't the Days Inn/Motel 6 kind of guy. Who's paying because you certainly don't have the money you claim to have.

Too bad Casey Serin. It's a shame we all have you figured out.

Rob did call it before flippy post. I think, if anything, Casey was still working the spin on the story. The next, natural, question is where is he staying and how long will he stay. I feel he will go across the border, if for nothing else, just to keep the story interesting, being on that side of the line will just be a by-product.

Oh yeah, I still wonder if the book that will never come will include the latest details about how Casey abandoned Galina, how Marty's patented-get-rich-clicks ripped him off and is still ripping him off, and how no one wants to do business with Casey (except those whose business includes placing cuffs around ones wrists).

I wonder if he will include that in the preface or just skip over that as being details?

I disagree. He would be super-nice to her with other people watching, to try to "prove" that Galina was the one who wanted the separation, he was really trying hard to make the marriage work, etc... Sociopaths try to manipulate their public image the same way they manipulate everything and everyone else in their lives. They're scared of being publicly caught in the act of privately berating and upsetting someone.

Anyone who asks Casey for help is obviously an idiot. So there you go.

The scary part is that people would probably pay the money for his BS.

at least Sharky-cast is better than the Trav-Cast

Miranda Mayer said...

The question is, Anons--are there enough idiots to keep Casey in the money?

How is having a login ID that in no way is affiliated with my real name any less anonymous? Just because I don't care to register an account with blogger makes my points any less valid.


Your points are given less credence because nobody knows whether you're the poster that made "x" number of intelligent, rational posts over "y" days, or whether you're a drop in troll. We can't connect your posts via a (made-up) posting name and draw a conclusion about your input based on multiple data points.

My "name" Endgame tells people who I am in the sense that they generally know my opinion and attitude, and can therefore decide whether to ignore me, read me, agree with me, dispute me, etc...

Like it or not, them's the facts as I see 'em.

Good times, time for me to cash in my 401K for some lottery tickets, fried chicken, and party liquor, everyone have a good 4th. I'll be in Columbus, GA with friends and family. If anyone hears of missing cows in Auburn, it wasn't me.

Your argument is a perfect example of the logical fallacy known as the 'argument from authority'.

Points and arguments raised are no more or less valid because they come from someone called "anonymous" or someone "known'.

There is no good reason why you can't consider what's said rather than who says it.

Good luck Galina. Life will start getting better after you remove yourself from the current situation.

Galina,
Keep up the fight...
If you need help dealing with this, let us know... there's people here itching to help you out.

You guys are so funny. You're so angry at Casey for scamming.

That's how America works now. It runs on lies, gossip, slander, hate and deception. I find it hard to get upset about it anymore.

In point of fact, you guys aren't so far from being Casey in many ways. There's a sense of vindicative outrage that just doesn't play well.

But I expect it out of my country now. It seems all the little cult groups are into it. C'est la vie.

Hang in there, G.

Hey, Galina--

Agreed w/Sharky; hang in there, you can do way better than Casey, and stay strong! Cheers, honey!

Good haterzcast... we all support Galina™, and hope that Casey sees some consequences for his actions one of these days.

BTW, Shark, I called in towards the end but ya left me hanging for 4 minutes so I hung up. heh. Next time around :-)

Murses said...

Galina, you can overcome all of this. Stand strong. You have so much more in your life. He is a dead end now. Good luck!!

Anonymous said...

Galina,
I respect what you're doing, not just working hard to deal with the fiscal crap that Casey left you, but also for putting up with so much from him up to his point. We can't always choose who we love, but we can choose how we love and you've shown that you are a good and strong woman. You deserve a better man and happiness, and you're young enough that I'm sure you'll find both.

Best wishes,

NR

@Galina
You most definitely have my support. I know dealing with family can be difficult, but your good-for-nothing husband takes the cake. If I see him here in Seattle, I will personally deliver him to your doorstep so you can beat the stuffing out of him. You, of all people, deserve first shot.

ha38349 said...

Galina, I hope that you will continue to stand up for yourself.

Relentless said...

Galina, hang in there, keep your head up, don't lose your focus and trust the people Duane and others have set to help you and you will get out of this. Won't be easy but it is possible.

(and ignore the inevitable trolls coming in this thread)

Galina, I wish you the best. You're in a world of suck right now, but you can work through it and it will be better.

Haven't been able to follow the story lately..

Did Casey fly from Austrailia to Seattle without going home?

Why is Casey in Seattle and how does he afford to survive?

M. SINGH said...

Madame GALINA,

You are making the proper decisions, and I am proud of you.

Thank you,

M. SINGH

Gordon Sanders said...

Galina,

I am dating a girl that is Ukrainian and can understand the obligation that you felt toward Casey, to support him etc, but you have made the right decision. You appear to be a much stronger person than him and have a full grasp of the situation that HE put you both in. I tried to talk some since to him on many occasions as you know, and I am glad that you finally decided to say "Pa-ka".

I am sure that this is an Independence Day in many regards.

Best to you and your family,
Gordon

that is the question of the hour... no one seems to know, he just "showed up" in seattle.

Galina good luck

know the road your taking is going
to be tough, but with the help of
your family and friends you will
make it through

Anonymous said...

We don't know if Casey went AUS->WA or AUS->CA->WA. My guess is that he went straight through, he doesn't apparently have the cash to do it in steps. CA has nothing but problems he heaped on himself anyway.

her response was that she COULDNT believe there were so many comments of support in so little time...

From me (duane) thank you ALL for your support... now.. I am sure that a bunch of ANONS will post.. I m here for a few hours... help me beat these maggots please...

Relentless said...

Duane, I think most people here know (not believe..KNOW) that Galina is an innocent in all this. The ones who don't are the same ones who think you/mark and no better than casey so dont believe what you say.

Or theyre just trolling/love conspiracy theories...

CHJTS said...

G--keep your head up.

I would encourage you to let duane and annie assist you in any way they can.

Your a fighter and we are all damn proud of you.

Mouse And Pencil said...

Galina,

I know this whole thing is very rough on you, but believe one thing - it does get better. One day, one step at a time. Be true to yourself, and you will find yourself in a better place. :)

Also, I can only imagine it's REALLY wierd to have so much attention and care from strangers, and to have your personal life out in public on the Internet like this. But, we're harmless, I promise.

Well, except for Stephanie J, but that's a good thing.

And that CHJTS guy - between you and me, I think he's enjoying his medication too much. I know.

Enjoy your 4th!

A koi was harmed in the making of this post, but he's got a Flipper bandaid and some ice cream, and is watching Finding Nemo, and is much happier now

Zintradi said...

I hope you feel the love galina... in an innocent plutonic "we're-with-ya" kind of way :-)

Oh shut up Duane. A number of anons HAVE posted already, all supporting Galina.

I think there's more support and sympathy out here for Galina than anyone realizes. Go Galina!
