Plausibility of Replicating/Improving upon a Buffett-Icahn / Schwarzman-Rubenstein enterprise

how could this be done?

essentially a hedge-fund viscerally expanding-magnifying-amplifying
to the point of takeovers friendly / hostile

levering up the capital structures of the takeovers, then divesting and re-upping grander in scale

how many heads realistically to operate a hedge fund, at absolute bare minimum, if all administrative is outsourced to BTIG...

minimum runway to operate and expand into leveraged buyouts...
how many heads, minimum?

assume capital requirements are achievable and accessible

please illuminate. practical, consequential, speculate on the possibility

remember where you are : size up the situation : you're on this website

Average peon grunt = grunt peon average

                   fight or flee instinct , prefers to discount because can't understand = war / denial of plausibility = average peon grunt 

                   Typical terd has no capacity to consider this, they have no idea how to make decisions, they just do what they're told 
 
                           Following orders 
                                    Have no ambition / balls / would collapse if presented an opportunity that you're speculating upon 
 
....
assuming you're young, spry, and a bit contemplative, amongst your headless cohort...
If you put your money where your mouth is, you don't need anybody 
 
Sure you have a worthwhile fantasy so you'll attract talent when you prove it
 
 
Just set up the LLC 
Get the 65 (assume you have 63/7), maybe the 3 if that's in your bag of tricks 
IARD 
all the legalzoom lol reality 
and get  your family's networks signatures 
a few friends you like in on it 
 
Think about Buffett 
He was young, boned out of the city to Nebraska, fundraisers from his dads friends, and had simultaneous partnerships running based on the year of funding : a collection 
 
no computers 
 
just go to the sec site and lift from your favorite funds, if you want global investment you need a vehicle to transfer the funds, look at ackman's liability chain of protection 
 
Icahn : went to the source, jay gould status in derivatives land, stayed and ascended 
 
Schwarzman : M&A prodigy right place at the right time ultimate mind reading monster, not a hedge fund guru, he doesn't need to be, 
 
Rubenstein : same thing kind of, connected.
 
Burry : did this as a side hustle while going to medical school . . .
 
they're world class people bringer togethers, 
Once you're big enough, it's best to hide behind somebody like this because they'll deal with a bunch of horrible grenade and mine fields to keep you out of trouble, and you can just concentrate on valuation… they're Munger if you're Buffett 
 
Anyway what the hell do I know 
Just go hang out with a bunch of old people with money and show them your records and research. There's nothing more to it man. 
 
postscript :
Lastly, if you want faster expansion, you lock in your closely held Allies with agreements first, and then venture out of the cocoon, to these guys's kids, since you're younger, they're heirs that have no idea what they're doing, rip Mellon, 
 
Verstehen sie? Vous comprenez ? 
はかりますか?
 
They'll find you if you do it long enough 
It's more of a challenge to stay hidden and shrouded, so you don't get your head chopped off
 
Anyway 99% of people on this site have no idea what I'm talking about, they don't even have attorneys or accountants bodyguards babysitters 
 
most will be too set in their ways, because they've made too much (for their imaginations) too fast, so they'll never amount to more than decadent wealth, they'll never be president, or friends with the state, unfulfilled in life or sadly, perhaps blissfully ignorant, just a bunch of hardworking meatheads 
 
Hence average grunt peon ...
 
 
It's like supermodels, most are just illiterate, so you can keep process of eliminating them until you find a movie star (same concept)
 
it's better to just Hunt and Seek and Identify and Target Specific, heads, Eyes
, you're playing Morpheus right now (even though you're Fox Warner Murdoch) and just make them believe theyre Neo, and Trinity, or you're Spaceghost and you want them in the show lol, or you're Spike Spiegel Han Solo with a ship that could use a hand… on crew , you feel me, space cowboy… 
 
Start small
see you in the future 
 
 
double postscript :
 
as far as being on this site, seeking some answers, I mean, I'm here, embarrassing as it is,
study the website cohort :
 
Be nice to them
Learn from them
There's a reason they're moving up the chain of command
They are hard workers 
They'll probably by your clients 
You might hire a few 
And ultimately they can afford to send their kids to your kids schools so they're there 
 
One may break through and be macron, mnuchin will confirm
There are always exceptional bright ethical humans even in hell 
And purgatory 
 
You think Dante is the only one 
Ha what a comedy 

Ok I'm convinced we now have someone running a ChatGPT-like bot here.
