Björgúlfur Guðmundsson BLANKUR

Nafn Björgúlfs Guðmundssonar birtist á lista Forbes yfir miljarðamæringa sem töpuðu mest á árinu. Kannski verður hann næsti maður í röðinni næst þegar þú þarf að sækja þér mat til fjölskylduhjálparinnar. Samkvæmt fréttinni hefur hann tapað öllu, hverjum einasta dollar. Ljótt það, átti síst von á því að verða ríkari en Björgólfur en það er víst ekki mikið gagn í því fyrir mig.

Bjorgflur Gudmundsson

March net worth: $1.1 billion
Current net worth: zero

The October collapse and government seizure of Iceland's second largest bank wiped out the $1.1 billion fortune of Gudmundsson, the bank's chairman and biggest shareholder, along with his son Thor. His holding company, Hansa, has since gone into voluntary liquidation and is looking for a buyer for its U.K. soccer team, West Ham. It's not the first time he's run into trouble. A former shipping executive, he was charged with fraud and embezzlement in relation to the firm's 1985 collapse, and was eventually found guilty on five minor counts and sentenced to 12 months' probation

Ætli hann sé svo blankur ,ætli hann hafi ekki komið undan nokkrum milljörðum fyrir hrunið ?

Ég myndi nú ætla það. Hann er alla vega ekki fluttur úr villunni.
