No, it would scare me if he didn't. Do you think Schwartzman gave up some of his stake because he's a nice guy and really wanted to share some of their profits with you and the rest of the plebes... or no,no, it was because they desperately needed financing because they are struggling so?

Ever check out the tombstone and see how many banks underwrote Blackstone? No one needs 17 underwritters. Yes, I said 17. Even wonder why? Cause no one is going to bitch about their astronomical PE if they are involved in the deal. Say it with me - market top.
