Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway and a business partner invested $15 million with a hedge-fund manager who was recently arrested for running a Ponzi scheme.
The Denver Post reported that the two invested $15 million with Sean Mueller in March with the understanding that the money would be placed in a trust until a final decision was made about where it would be invested. 
About 65 people had invested $71 million with Mueller over the past decade. Yet in April, Mueller only had $9.5 million, according to a state investigator. He turned himself in to authorities on Wednesday on charges of racketeering, securities fraud and theft, and is being held in prison on $2 million bond.
Elway and his partner have asked that their claim be processed ahead of any other investors' because their $15 million was supposed to be placed in a trust, not pooled with the money of the rest of the hedge fund. According to an April filing, $12 million of Elway's money was placed into a Morgan Stanley trust account, as expected. The other $3 million has gone missing.
Since retiring from football, Elway's personal life has veered toward the tragic. His father died of a heart attack, his twin sister passed away due to cancer and his wife left him all in a span of 15 months.





God, why do these idiots keep giving their money to these financial thieves.
With that kind of money all you have to do it just leave it in bonds and live off the interest.
If you buy your house and cars cash, the interest is more than sufficient to satisfy any lifestyle.
It is just greed that drives them to invest with these guys and they get burned in the end. but it does suck to hear about what he went through in those 15 months

this article is about the new forbes magazines top 400 rishest americans. among these 400 is mark zuckerberg. he has the highest growth percentage wise out of all 400 billionaires. he nearly tripled his fortune to 6.9 billion. he however was not the youngest billionaire for his roomate in collge dustin moskovitz and co founder of facebook is 8 days younger so therefore americas youngest billionaire.
i think its awesome that people are becoming richer earlier especially when they are self earned billionaires which just means they didnt inherate their fortun, they earned it.

mcdonalds=death

this ad talks about how mcdonalds' unhealthy food is the cause of a mans death in a new ad commericial. the commercial shows a dead man with a burger in his hand and golden arches at his feet saying i was lovin it. mcdonalds is pissed because they believe that the company is just scaring people into eating healthier and not giving the people a whole view of nutrition. i think that the ad is fare. if mcdonalds can advertise to sway you into eating their food, which is unhealthy, then the other company should be able to advertise eating healthier.

Holiday Weekend Gas Prices

this article is about the raising of gas prices around the country for the holiday weekend. the prices went up because so many people travel and go places but the necessity for gas remains. gas stations look at it two ways. one way is well if a lot of people are going to travel and need gas then they will buy it no matter the cost. another way they look at is that the more gas being used up in a shorter amount of time leads to a decrease in their storage tanks therefore they raise the prices to compensate for the loss. i think gas prices will eventually go down as the economy picks up or if it ever picks up.

Business Article 8/31

This article is about how Apple has developed a new program that streams live T.V. and videos right to your iPad and it's other devices. Apple will be working with Netflix to create a way to access Netflix in these same devices. Netflix programemd through your T.V. will cost you around 8.99 a month. If you are an Apple Macintosh user or own an iPad and other devices, there will be a free Netflix application. I think that this is a good step in the right direction for Apple. After failing with the iPad by not including Adobe Flash Player, this kind of thing was desperately needed. Although i do not own an iPad, i still believe that this program will be a great sucsess for both NEtflix and Apple.
