The Firms Behind the Dear Investor Letters?

by law shucks on December 30, 2008

matchingDealbreaker has put together a hilarious matching game for some of this year’s “Dear Investor” gems.  Basically, you have to match which fund came up with such quotes as

“There may be residual assets in Madoff to be distributed or, alternatively, there may be no assets.”

and

“The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking.”

We’ll put the BigLaw spin on that.  Match the funds from the Dealbreaker piece with their traditional counsel for fund work.
