The government's interest in prosecuting against the prospect of
pornography (especially if the defendant had no money to mount a
defense!) gave so much negative value to Phoulish Money Ltd that it
was added to the portfolio of Mounting Debt Funds Inc a holder of the
Creative Derivative Arbitrage Fund which had gotten on the wrong
side of a massive subprime lending pool. It was hoped that the
additional liabilities of Phoulish Money Ltd holder of Martin Money Inc
would send the Fund completely to the bottom where its
stock-holders could abandon it.
This was how the corporate person of Martin Money become property
of the Creative Derivative Arbitrage Fund.
Martin engineers a turn-around
Martin found a small desk on the mezzanine for his coloring book and
drawing paper. Half of the mezzanine was used for storage because it
was closest to the freight elevator. The days of using the mezzanine
for mezzanine finance were over as most of the phones had been
disconnected.
Royal Peabody the last General Director of the Creative Derivative
Arbitrage Fund used one of the junked sofas in the junk pile for his
afternoon siesta. He lay his rice and bean curd take-out order on the
floor along with his Snapple and got comfortable before lunch.
"What's that for?" Martin called out pointing to the electronic tape
running on the main floor below them.
"Information. Bad information," Royal responded reclining for lunch.
"What do you do?" Martin asked.
"I eat lunch," Royal said.
"After that?" The kid asked
"Probably catch 20 winks..."
"All right, before that?"
