Blaming government interference and persecution, they say there isn’t enough global stability, leverage or risk appetite to triumph in the current slump.
“I don’t think it’s a time to make money -- this is a time to rig for survival,” said Charles Stevenson, 64, president of hedge fund Navigator Group Inc. and head of the co-op board at 740 Park Ave. The building, home to Blackstone Group LP Chairman Stephen SWchwarzman and CIT Group Inc.

Large financial institutions have been “exceedingly aggressive at trying to roll back reform” and have largely succeeded....

It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus.
