John Paulson

So for us, we're a thematic investor, so everything we do is based on a core theme.

So, you know, overly simplified, when we shorted subprime mortgages with John Paulson in 2007, it's because our theme was that the housing bubble was gonna burst, and that people didn't realize how much risk was in the system at that time.

When we went long, you know, crude oil and infrastructure in the shales is because this just technological revolution that was happening.

The growth of private assets, going back to your question about private assets, that's why we're an investor in GP stakes.

Emails show in 2017 he agreed to donate $50,000 to a dinner in honor of Lutnick.

Hope PR is okay, Epstein wrote to billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, an organizer of the dinner.

Epstein declined to take a table awarded to donors of that level, writing that Lutnick could fill the seats.

Their relationship continued to the next year, 2018, when Lutnik emailed Epstein, apparently complaining about an expansion plan for their neighboring Frick Collection Art Museum.

And then three individuals.

They were Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson.

All three are billionaires.

They were allowed to put money into the Kentucky primary.

An example is the 2008 great financial collapse, the subprime bubble, it burst.

And when it burst, it allowed certain individuals to profit greatly.

So John Paulson, who was an hedge fund manager, his company made $20 billion off the subprime crisis.

And I think it was an engineered event because I live in China.

Yeah, this is how the billionaire Zionist donor class operates, and it's not just Bill Ackman, though he is very emblematic of this.

It's John Paulson and Peter Singer and Miriam Adelson and Ronald Lauder and Joe Lonsdale and Peter Thiel.

All of them are connected into protecting the image of this foreign country.

No care for their own country, no care for their own communities, their own states.

He literally did buy protection for free.

John Paulson, right, the greatest trade ever, he bought super senior protection.

He paid for it.

He bought it at a price that turned out to be way too low, but he did pay for it.

Uh, but as of right now, I'm worried, but I'm also optimistic on the upside still.

Like, uh, John Paulson and I from a redraft standpoint had Price as a potential running back league winner this year because of his draft capital and the upside that he possesses.

I still think that's the case in a dynasty standpoint, and obviously I'd be trying to trade for him right now too.

Uh, if anybody was worried about the backfield split or anything like that, I still think that he's a really good top 15 dynasty running back.

It's so on with David Montgomery, and I...

That was one of the great disagreements I had with John Paulson.

We had a big disagreement on David Montgomery.

Is he a dead zone back? And I said, "No." There's, there's, there's certain backs, and I know that they're o- of a certain age.

I mean, you'll

know the guys, but John Paulson, who architected the greatest financial trade in history, $20 billion in two years he made.

So that was the profit that he generated.

But he was buying when no one else was.

So I'm their best member ever.

And John Paulson was speaking at the University Club.

This was after the financial crisis, and it emerged that he had made $20 billion betting against the mortgage And of course, he made a ton of money.

And so everybody in New York wanted to go hear John Paulson.

The Oracle had come down and was speaking at the University Club.

And not only was the entire upstairs dining room, which is gargantuan, a city block.

filled with people, but there was an overflow room that was also filled.
