Rumors of Treasury Secretary Paulson arrest in Germany

[dogbert]

I have been reading lots of rumors of this on the gold forums I visit. Anyone in Europe have any info on this or is it an unfounded rumor?

Good prank, if it is one.

EDIT: Apparently fake.

That is something if it did occur they would really want to keep hushed up. That is why I keep scratching my head over this one.

Well, I guess the bubble has gotta pop somehow.

Yep and if one is financially positioned correctly they would handsomely profit or incorrectly lose their shirt.

I have $13K riding on put options against the Dow - strike price correlating to Dow 11200 and 10700.


Or, in other words...

Got until Dec 2007 on them, but if the bubble keeps getting bigger, even a healthy collapse won't do much but maybe break me even.

Google Paulson Wanta. Interesting reading. Still would like to get some verification.
