The Fab Fab sent another atrocious e-mail about Goldman shorting (betting against the Gulf Coast)

This is really unbelievable. I have to imagine they got some insider info from a Halliburton employee that was working on the rig. 1 day before the accident they took out a "bet" against the Gulf Coast??????? Here is the e-mail he sent


investigators turned up new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on the Gulf.

"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"

This stinks to high heaven.



On edit, sorry jumped the gun to fast. I guess I am seeing red on the oil spill and immigration. Should have known it was humor, although with recent events it is hard to separate satire and reality anymore.

3. Isn't Andy Borowitz a satirist?
I wouldn't put it past Fab but I think he is on leave too.

4. You have to be careful with Huffington Post anyway. Sometimes on real news
they jump the gun before all the facts are in
