In a nutshell my concerns about the actions of the Investment Industry
affect the interests of every person in every district of every
country not just the USA and Canada. I was offering to help you with
Emera because my work with them and Danny Williams is well known and
some of it is over eight years old and in the PUBLIC Record.

All you have to do is stand in the Legislature and ask the MInister of
Justice why I have been invited to sue Newfoundland by the
Conservatives


Obviously I am the guy the USDOJ and the SEC would not name who is the
link to Madoff and Putnam Investments

Here is why

I know that the Yankee law enforcement people are either as dumb as
posts or pure evil. There appears to be few exceptions. The ethical
Ms. Olson is my favourite klady today. Does anyone speaking or acting
in the best interests of the decent folks in Iceland understand my
sincerity and her Integrity YET?

https://www.bloomberg.com/gadfly/articles/2017-03-27/goldman-sachs-hedge-funds-and-a-bank-in-iceland


March 27, 2017 3:00 AM EDT

Goldman Sachs and a trio of hedge funds snapped up 30 percent of
Iceland's Arion Bank last week, a nicely timed symbol of the country's
return to normality and lifting of capital controls imposed after the
financial implosion in 2008.

Stake in Arion bank

30%

The strange part is that, as the group already owns 64 percent of
Arion's parent Kaupthing, they're buying from themselves -- at a
valuation that looks steep when compared with far bigger banks in
richer European countries.

It's a partly defensive move. Kaupthing, which collapsed in 2008,
needs to sell Arion, formed from its domestic assets, to repay money
it owes to the government and to allow its hedge fund owners to sell
stakes they took in the bank following the financial crisis.

Still, the price the four are paying suggests they're optimistic there
might be more value to be unlocked from an eventual initial public
offering of Arion.

Whether those expectations are justified will depend on the country's
economic boom not turning to bust -- and ordinary Icelanders'
frustration with what they see as Wall Street speculation not getting
in the way.

The Arion deal should be seen in the context of hedge funds' rocky
relationship with Iceland since 2008. Hopes of making a killing on
failed banks' assets turned to frustration when it came time to exit
the country. Amid growing public hostility, the government imposed a
one-time 39 percent levy -- but funds could avoid it provided they met
certain demands. One of them involved Kaupthing repaying debt to
Iceland through the sale of its stake in Arion. So the sooner that
happens, the sooner the funds can be free.

But at what price? Arion's valuation of 0.8 times book value looks
rich indeed. It's in line with France's No. 1 bank, BNP Paribas SA,
whose balance sheet is some 200 times bigger. Iceland's pension funds,
surely the obvious long-term anchor investors for an asset like this,
reportedly balked at paying that much.

The hedge funds could yet get the last laugh. An optimist would argue
that Arion's whopping 27.1 percent capital ratio and exposure to
domestic loans make it look undervalued -- especially when set against
best-in-class Scandinavian lenders like Swedbank or Handelsbanken,
which trade for 50 percent more than their book value.

An IPO outside Iceland might lure other pension funds and sovereign
investors eager for dividends and exposure to banks.
Wreck-javik
Iceland's economy has rebounded so strongly that economists warn of overheating

It's not a slam-dunk pitch. There are concerns that Iceland's economic
growth could suddenly cool. And financial regulation is still very
much in the spotlight of public opinion. Economist Asgeir Jonsson, in
his book on the country's collapse, recalls how popular ire moved from
greedy bankers to "vulture funds" said to be using shadowy investment
structures to turn a quick profit from the collapse.

Icelandic officials are under pressure to crack the whip and
scrutinize current and future investors in Arion. The country's
supervisor has made sure that the details of each investor in Arion
are publicly disclosed.

Finding those reliable anchor investors and going the extra mile on
disclosure should help the hedge funds close their Icelandic
experience on a happy note. And with the government still owning 13
percent of Arion, it's in all their interests to stay optimistic.

and its owners.

    Goldman made its investment through its ELQ Investors II
subsidiary. Och-Ziff’s was acquired by an affiliated entity, Sculptor
Investments.
