'Helicopter Money Coming' - Exclusive Interview With Top Hedge Fund Manager Tom Conrad

So this Berwick "contribution" was basically a brief interview, a Q&A-style blahbideeblah, between Berwick and Thomas Conrad, who @dollarvigilante describes as follows ..

Thomas D. Conrad, Ph.D. is a highly ranked hedge fund manager with World Opportunity Master Fund and president of Financial Management Corporation. His flagship World Opportunity Master Fund, LP, is an international hedge fund that operates globally as a fund-of-hedge-funds. Fund managers hold in aggregate well over US$2 billion in managed investments.

Well .. I did a little digging...



SEC Charges Fund-of-Funds Manager, Principals With Fraud

SEC Charges Fund-of-Funds Manager, Principals With Fraud

The SEC has charged Thomas Conrad Jr., Stuart Conrad, Financial Management Corp. (FMC) and Financial Management Corp. S.R.L. (FMC Uruguay) with fraud after Conrad, despite being barred in 1971 from association with any registered broker-dealer, “has continued in the securities business in an unregistered capacity.”

From 2010 through late 2014, Conrad directed preferential redemptions and other disbursements to himself, his son Stuart, extended family and some favored investors, while telling other investors that redemptions were suspended. He also failed to disclose to investors certain fees he received for his purported management of the funds and related conflicts of interest and also hid his disciplinary history.

According to the agency, during different periods beginning in 1994, Conrad created at least four hedge funds: the World Opportunity Master Fund L.P. (WOF Master) and its feeder funds, World Opportunity Fund L.P. (WOF); World Opportunity Fund Ltd., based in the British Virgin Islands; and World Fund II L.P. (World Fund II). Investors in the feeder funds received limited partnership interests in those funds.

Conrad’s funds also ran into trouble when one large investment turned out to be a Ponzi scheme run by another money manager, the SEC said.

For all those who have been ignoring the many warnings about the people brought here, presented to you as heroes of the cause (whose!!?) - people who toss a pile of steaming bullshit at you and get a shit tonne of YOUR STEEM in return ... for what!? FOR THIS!? Let this be your last warning - if you refuse to wake up, you only have yourselves to blame for what is going to happen to STEEMIT - a total loss of legitmacy!!

But who am I to judge right? GO AHEAD .. give Berwick and gang 10s of thousands more!!! All I know is, I read a four-line poem by someone who hasn't even earned 50 cents here, and it was worth more than all the "work" that has been done by these fucking bullshit artists, combined!

That's not good! I wonder what all these people are going to do when the Fed raises interest rates (which will strengthen the dollar and tank gold).

that's not going to happen, the reason the FED isn't raising interest rates is because it would crash the system for sure.

People said they wouldn't raise last December either but they did (and everyone wailed about how they were tanking stocks). I think there is going to be a rate rise in either Sept or Dec. They're trying to get to 2% interest rates in order to "normalise" and if they don't start now, they'll run out of time.
