TE summer special has this long god awful poof peice on Fink.

Its fawning drivel

TLDR -My opinion of BR/Fink, as they one and the same -

Fink/Blackrock didnt go bust in 2007. They got a chance to buy competitors for pennies.

They then levraged up during ZIRP and the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ rolled in.

Fink then thought he was the mesiah, preachign to Pols etc etc.

A total No No in the Wall street./Washington Nexus - see how Jamie Dimon operates.

Now IR are shooting up a lot of BR stuff is going to go bang.

heheh, last pistola i fired didnt even have a trigger, it was a vintage smith and wesson from the some old cowboy period where you fired it by just cocking it, no latch on the cock either, just pull back and let go. All the innards were removed for speed.
