Cue pithy comments related to hedge funds! Hedge funds, get it? Hedge funds?

Forget it.

Forbes recently reported that an executive of New Stream Capital, Tara Bryson, was arrested and charged with running a marijuana factory from her 6 000 square foot home, because, apparently, it’s a tough financial gig being a loan shark.

Bryson was arrested by the Connecticut State Police in Newtown on July 9th for three felonies: possession of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana, and conspiracy to cultivate marijuana. She plead not guilty, was released on $25,000 bail, and returned to work with investors at New Stream. Her boyfriend, Michael Hearl who lives with her, was arrested on seven felonies including, possession of a silencer for firearms and operating a drug factory.

State police narcotics task force reports say the residence was “a complex marijuana cultivation operation capable of producing a marijuana crop year round.” The Newtown Bee, which first reported the arrest, on August 13th, said police seized a portable air conditioner, a carbon dioxide generator and motorized track lighting system, as well as a growing ledger, financial records and a personal computer.

Bryson countered the claim that she and her boyfriend were actually running a goat farm, and they had aspirations to produce cheese.

Of course you do. Just not the dairy-based sort of cheese.

You think she eats out here?
