abstract:Steve Eisman is a money manager known for shorting securitized subprime home mortgages. Eisman currently works for FrontPoint Partners, a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.
SteveEisman, a hedge-fund manager with a love of comics and a talent for offending people, had witnessed the subprime market blow up in the 1990s and was convinced the same would happen again.
Chief cheerleader in this self-serving effort has been SteveEisman, a prominent short seller who contends that for-profit colleges, much like subprime lenders, sucker the poor and uneducated into borrowing more money than they could ever pay back.
