<I JUST HAVE TO INTERJECT HERE.........SINCE WHEN WAS "INVESTING" REALLY THIS GOOD??
Check out the head of the Democratic National Committee, Terry McAuliffe, who scored $18 million in the bankrupt Global Crossing on an investment of $100,000. A glorious 18,000 percent return! This slightly beats out the two guys you mentioned with their 17,200 percent return.
Don't expect that you'll hear much about Global Crossing though.
