Wes Edens made billions on Wall Street and co-owns the Milwaukee Bucks and Aston Villa. He also has a natural gas company that's gone from $10bn investor darling to the cusp of bankruptcy. Where did it all go wrong? And can the man with a golden touch turn it round? www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Great read here on the Ukrainian blackhat-turned-US whistleblower Olga Kapurina, which gently suggests what I've long suspected: The US stock market is filthy with hacking. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
