File this under the heading of "Fool me twice..."

Dr. Myron Scholes, Nobel Laureate for his work with Dr. Black
on options pricing and co-founder of LTCM, previously the biggest
blow-up in history, is the Chairman of yet another hedge fund
which is now shipping water faster than Niagara Falls.

it strikes me that the phrase "theoretical economist"
(eg, Drs. Black and Scholes) makes about as much sense
as the phrase "theoretical sex therapist".
