"Hedge-Fund Executive Exploring Other Growth Opportunities"?!

Well, this way of looking for new growth is sure to land you in prison.

A post on HedgeFundBlogger titled Hedge Fund Marijuana sent me laughing out loud today.

Some quotes:
"Tara Bryson and her boyfriend recently received a grant from the state government to set up a goat farm. Instead, the two built a farm to grow marijuana."



"Tara Bryson, 36, is the sister of David Bryson, co-founder of Ridgefield, CT-based ew Stream Capital. She heads investor relations for the $1 billion asset-backed lending fund that charges high rates to loan distressed companies money."


"Bryson was arrested by the Connecticut State Police in Newtown on July 9th for three felonies: possession of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana, and conspiracy to cultivate marijuana. She plead not guilty, was released on $25,000 bail, and returned to work with investors at New Stream."
And I thought this type of reckless hedge fund managers was an endangered species on the brink of extinction... They are alive and kicking!
