Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[NovoMira]

OBO....I'm kinda miffed. I don't need to be reading about Bernard Cornfield when I have so little time left to pack and get outta Dodge for a few days. ;)

There's info out there about the man...but what's ironic is he'll prolly be remembered more because of his relationship with Victoria Principal than his financial troubles.

Yep...it's amusing to observe what interests people the most....skip the fascinating details of his bargain with the real villian of the financial fall of his company Investors Overseas Service... the notorious Robert Vesco. Vesco reminds me of Bernie Ebbers...the crook of WCOM fame.

It's fascinating reading...IMO, the shenanigans that went on in the world of finance during the 60's equal or could even surpass the debacle of the late 90's bubble.

BTW, Bernie Cornfield died at the age of 67 on February 2, 1995.
