More News from Germany Most people who got bad financial advise have been lenient to their advisors, not this couple. Quote:
LEAD STORY: Most investors who lost their shirts in the economic collapse have shown restraint toward their bumbling financial "advisers," but not these Germans.
Americans Fantasize, Germans Act: Two formerly well-off retired couples in Speyer, Germany, whose nest egg was largely wiped out by investments in sub-prime Florida mortgages, vented their anger by kidnapping their investment adviser, James Amburn, in June. They took him to the vacation home of one of the couples near the Austrian border, bound him like a mummy and beat and tortured him over several days, fracturing two ribs, in repeated attempts to punish him and extort his own property as partial compensation for their losses. Police rescued him after he managed to send a coded message by fax. [The Times (London), 6-24-09]
