Nothing To Hide

A wealthy hedge manager was arrested Friends said he was Demanding Bold A risk taker Impeccably dressed Impressive to watch He didn’t tolerate mistakes Because time was money. His wife cried in court Stood by him Until the girlfriends came out Hints of lavish parties Money spent on expensive jewelry Secrets kept Signs ignored by those Paid to watch. Dozens of executives Arrested Now cooperating Operations closed down Employees let go In an uncertain economy. Investors Lost Money Savings depleted Trust never regained For some it was the end of the road. The market goes up The market goes down Because of a man Who stole in plain sight With nothing to hide.
