Not many guys can say that they fought entire countries to the point they give you everything you demanded, without the use of military or terrorism etc.
Tucker Carlson brought me here
Tucker Carlson's reporting on this guys dealings in Nebraska brought me here. What an evil man.
"Philanthropist"
Buy High, Sell Low. It makes you win -100% of the time.
Just call them raiders, the whole activist label is just the result of an impressive corporate PR blitz.
love these profiles, keep em coming
Sometimes Making Money And Being Liked Don't Go Together!!!!
I'll give it too him, he's and his company are very smart, strategic, and well planned. Only shame is how he and his company damages everything / everyone his company comes into contact with for pure profit. If only he used his knowledge for the betterment of people, their families, and their employers.
when Elliot shows up in your stock, you better listen,,,,
Argentinian debt and exploiting their weak fiscal policy
You've got to admire the guy for the Argentina incident - that was clever.
The love of money IS the root of all evil. Spoken by someone Paul Singer will be answering to soon.
He sounds like a corporate raider (buy, breakup and sell, for profit) and not an activist (I can run this company better than y'all can)..... In the movie, Wall Street, Gekko was a raider whereas Sir Wildman was an activist.
He's like the real life Omar. "Elliot coming ya'll!"
How is he still able to walk and breathe today?
Judging by your looks you have 10-15 more years to remain a wealthy king on this Earth however, you will live in eternity with what you have done to families.
I'd like to applaud Bloomberg for attaching the word "activist" to something as nasty as Paul Singer. This will hopefully make other people wary of anyone else defining themselves as an activist.
Vulture.
What Singer does is questionable but governments like Argentina need to be more fiscally responsible.
