First, you seem to have forgotten D. Zachary Tanjeloff ’08, avid entrepreneur and party-thrower, whose name is locally, nationally, and globally recognizable. Another alumnus that should surely be included is Eugene M. Plotkin ’00, a research analyst for Goldman Sachs who was savvy enough to make $6.7 million before a judge sentenced him to 57 months in prison for something silly like “insider trading.” It would also be preposterous to skip Frederick H. Gwynne ’51, forever known to audiences everywhere as Herman Munster...

"To do so, you would need the approval of all the bond holders, which can be thousands of investors spread around the world." Worse, Rosner says, for most mortgage trusts, the government has no data or records that would identify those investors...
...They built their house on the beach," says Tim Morris, an analyst with stockbroker WiseOwl.com. "Now that the storms have come, they can't help but watch their house subside into the ocean." And Macquarie? More diverse sources of revenue mean "it's better built to weather the storm," Morris says. But the borrow-to-buy infrastructure model "is dead in the water...
