Maybe he intended it to be a heist, but it surely ended up being a costly fiasco. His fund is in the tank, and his personal fortune most certainly took a huge hit.
its not super clear who is making and losing money in this saga
Somehow both for Lampert
I suspect Lampert the Sears CEO is losing money, Lampert the hedge fund manager is making it via a slo-mo takeover of Sears assets from other Sears shareholders.
I would like to believe that someone is checking that he doesn't short his own stock ;)
Who's going to get caught when you can just split the profits with a trusted friend?
“Surely?” Well, we can always hope. Beware of the interpretation “he” might want you to have.
