Q Research General #15719: Chief Justice John Roberts Owns FISA Corruption Edition
Recently, Roddy contacted me to take issue with four points I made in that piece:
While I reported that Boyd appeared to be running interference for DTCC's Goldstein when answering - on Goldstein's behalf - my long-ignored request for comment on Gary Weiss's apparent use of a DTCC computer, Boyd insists he was merely doing us both a favor by personally conveying to me Goldstein's comments on the issue.
While I suspect Gary Weiss has had an extensive relationship with DTCC, Boyd says DTCC's Goldstein has personally denied as much to him on multiple occasions.What remains unclear is why, for 18 months, Goldstein has insisted on answering my questions through Roddy Boyd.
While I reported that the publication of Roddy's review of Gary Weiss's second book appeared to be timed to support the launch of DTCC's January, 2006 PR initiative targeting critics of naked short selling, Boyd denies this.Indeed, it is reasonable to consider the possibility that instead of Roddy timing the publication of his review of Weiss's book to coincide with the launch of DTCC's January 2006 PR initiative, the initiative itself might have instead been timed to coincide with the publication of Roddy's review. This is a likely explanation, given Weiss's apparent foreknowledge of the review's publication date.
While I reported that Boyd and Weiss had a relationship that predates Boyd's review of Weiss's book, Boyd says he and Weiss didn't connect until just before January 22, 2006, and that Boyd received the book not from Weiss himself, but from the publisher sometime in early December, 2005.I based my original reporting upon an email exchange between Roddy and Floyd Schneider (read this to learn how I came to posses emails between the two) which leaves no doubt that by at least January 15, 2006, Boyd knew enough about Weiss know he and Schneider were friends, and that Boyd could confidently ask Schneider to dig up negative information about public companies featured in stories Boyd was working on at the time. Boyd insists that knowledge came not from his relationship with Weiss, but from reading Weiss's book, which does prominently mention Schneider.

Tiger Management
Tiger Management Corp., also known as "The Tiger Fund," is an American hedge fund and family office founded by Julian Robertson. The fund began investing in 1980 and was closed to outside investors in March 2000. It continues to operate today in direct public equity investments and seeding new investment funds.
Julian Robertson, a stockbroker and former United States Navy officer, started Tiger Management in 1980 with $8 million in capital. By 1996, the fund's assets had increased to $7.2 billion in value.
On April 1, 1996 BusinessWeek carried a cover story written by reporter Gary Weiss, called "Fall of the Wizard", that was critical of Robertson's performance and behavior as founder and manager of Tiger Management. Robertson subsequently sued Weiss and BusinessWeek for $1 billion for defamation. The suit was settled with no money changing hands and BusinessWeek standing by the substance of its reporting.
After closing his Tiger Fund in 2000, Robertson started to use his own capital, experience, and infrastructure to support and finance ("seed") upcoming hedge fund managers.
As of September 2009, Robertson has helped launch 38 hedge funds ("Tiger Seeds") in return for a stake in their fund management companies.
Apart from those Tiger Seeds, a considerable number of analysts and managers Robertson employed and mentored at Tiger Management went out on their own and are now running some of the best-known hedge fund firms, called "Tiger Cubs",run by Tiger alumni such as Ole Andreas Halvorsen, Chris Shumway, Lee Ainslie, Stephen Mandel, John Griffin, David Gerstenhaber, David Goel, and Paul Touradji.
"The modern-day emergence of hedge funds can be attributed to a 1986 article in the Institutional Investor highlighting the extraordinary returns of the Tiger Fund. The article spurred investor interest and financing; since that time, hedge funds have increasingly attracted investment and human capital."
The Wall Street Journal reported in June 2010 that Robertson was considering reopening his firm to outside investors. John Townsend, a former partner at Goldman Sachs, was hired as the chief operating officer, and Robertson's son Alex joined the firm. The new hires were part of a potential expansion that could involve creating a "seeding" fund or a fund of hedge funds for outside investors. According to Institutional Investor magazine, that year many of the Tiger-seeded funds were struggling.
With $10.5 billion of assets under management in 1997, it was the second largest hedge fund in the world at the time. Its holdings climbed to $22 billion in 1998.
Tiger's largest equity holding at that time was U.S. Airways, whose troubles dragged down the value of his holdings. Such missteps ultimately led him to close his investment company in March 2000 and return all outside capital to investors. Tiger earlier made $2 billion in gains, but then it gave most of them back during a huge one-day move in the yen in 1998. In September 2001, Robertson distributed 24.8 million greatly devalued U.S. Airways shares over to former investors in Tiger. Robertson declared his intent to keep the stock. U.S. Airways declared bankruptcy in 2002, and shareholders in the airline were wiped out.
In December 2018, it was announced that Tiger global together Accel finance Series A of funding of software producing startup Facilio.

Resignations in the news
John Osborne: Dreamworld CEO unexpectedly resigns
DREAMWORLD boss John Osborne has resigned as head of Ardent Leisure's theme parks division, effective immediately.
In a statement to the ASX Wednesday morning, Ardent said chief operating officer Greg Yong would step into the $550,000-a-year role.
The statement said Mr Osborne had agreed to consult to the company "on several projects considered to be of strategic importance for Ardent".
Long-time Gold Coaster Mr Yong has held the role of Chief Operating Officer of Ardent Leisure Theme Parks and Attractions (COO) since May 2019.
Ardent Chairman Gary Weiss said Mr Osborne was leaving for personal reasons.
"Since John's appointment as Chief Executive Officer of our Theme Parks and Attractions division in November 2018, he has overseen not only the resolution of the many legacy issues facing the business but also skilfully and expertly led the business through the significant challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic," Dr Weiss said.
"During his tenure, John has built an outstanding leadership team and positioned the business to restore value for Ardent shareholders over the coming years.
"We fully understand John's wish to spend more time with his family after such a tumultuous period, and we are pleased that he has agreed to remain as a consultant to Ardent to assist in the delivery of several significant projects that are currently underway.
"We are delighted that Greg has accepted the offer to become Chief Executive. Greg has substantial experience in the theme parks industry in Australia and overseas and has played a critical role, as a key member of the leadership team, in restoring the performance of Dreamworld and SkyPoint. We are confident that Greg will build on all that has been achieved in the business over the last few years".
Mr Osborne said his tenure had been "challenging and transformational".
"I believe it is an optimal time for me to hand the reins over to Greg so I can spend more time with my family," he said.
"I am incredibly proud of the fantastic leadership team that has been put in place over the last three years.
"Greg is an outstanding executive and leader, and I know that he and the team will build on the platform we have put in place and ultimately restore Dreamworld to its rightful position as the best and most successful theme park in Australia."

Q Research AUSTRALIA #8 - WE ARE THE CURE Edition
The Chinese property billionaire eyeing Cromwell, the owner of sensitive Canberra assets
It was a rainy day in early autumn and everyone was glued to their screens as the extraordinary general meeting took place in the Melbourne offices of law firm Arnold Bloch Liebler.
All eyes were on a putsch to oust the chairman of Cromwell Property Group and replace him with famed corporate raider Gary Weiss, a representative of Cromwell's largest shareholder, ARA.
Everyone, it seems, except for perhaps the most important man in this corporate manoeuvre: Chinese billionaire Gordon Tang, who didn't attend the meeting and left his vote up to the Australian custodians of his family's shares.
Tang is a man of great achievement, vast wealth and a chequered business history. The former professional windsurfer born and raised in the city of Shantou in the coastal province of Guangdong has amassed extensive holdings in property companies in his native China; Singapore, the place he now calls home; and the United States, where his closest connections include members of the Bush political dynasty.
But it's in Australia where his property portfolio is only just now beginning to attract scrutiny. Tang's profile is low in this country, but he and his family are now at the centre of one of the fiercest tussles in corporate Australia. It is the hostile battle for control of an ostensibly boring but actually fascinating $2.1 billion real estate trust that is intensifying just as concerns about Chinese investment into Australia reach fever pitch.
The stoush has pitted legendary woolly-haired corporate raider Gary Weiss and $90 billion Singapore property giant ARA against the previously unheralded ASX-listed Cromwell. Weiss' involvement in the battle has captured much of the media focus. But Tang and his wife Celine's wealth and power easily outstrip everyone else involved.
