Hedge Fund Comedian Takes a Dive
Filed in archive Humor on August 13, 2008
It seems a hedge fund manager/wannabe comedian's repertoire didn't go over so well at New York's Broadway Comedy Club.
According to Bloomberg, Ben Shoval, who manages $260 million for his family's firm, Ambit Funding, dressed in a $1,600 Giorgio Armani suit, grabbed the microphone and began to make jokes in the order of; "A hedge fund is like a mutual fund on steroids,'' said Shoval, "It's like the Barry Bonds of investments. Barry goes to Mexico for his juice. We go to the Cayman Islands.''
He got better laughs from redneck jokes and we hope he got the message *Dont quit your day job!*

I wonder how funny he will be when his company is indicted. So far, I have found trouble in Michigan, Arizona and in Florida they are charged with usury, rico and conspiracy in Orange County. There are others in Florida getting ready to do the same. Seems like the joke is on them.
