If you like hard-hitting, long-winded, comedic investigations into incredibly boring financial topics led by the baby-faced assassin of the newsroom Dan Toomey, boy are you gonna love this video.
Thanks to the following folks for their generous help with this investigation: Gretchen Morgenson, Senior financial reporter, NBC News Investigations; Jeff Hooke, Senior finance lecturer at Johns Hopkins and former broad-based finance and investment executive; Will Flanary, ophthalmologist and comedian better known as Dr. Glaucomflecken; and Paul Kiernan, Wall Street Journal reporter covering finance and regulation.

Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, The Carlyle Group, and TPG either declined or didn’t respond to our request for an interview. The American Investment Council, a leading lobbying and research organization for the private equity industry, also declined to participate.
