Private Equity to Help Finance Hospitals

Tommy Galloway was a small time fund broker (Fondsvermittler) for BVT Private Equity. He knew how to wheel and he knew how to deal. One day Tommy was dealt a hand he could not hold. It was the hand of Miss Daisy Fuqua. Daisy was a nurse at the local hospital. Tommy came to know Miss Fuqua last summer when he was admitted for a bullet he took from Tiny Jacobs over a jewel heist ten years ago.

Daisy was the most beautiful lady he had ever laid eyes upon. She had pale skin and red lips; her hair was like the fire of a volcano. Tommy was hooked from the start. He loved the way she talked; he loved the way her eyes would twinkle when she smiled. There was just one thing wrong with Daisy. She was taken, or more appropriately held down, by Andy Papowitz – the biggest sleaze this side of town.

Andy Papowitz was a big time moneygrubber from Detroit who had his hand in everybody’s pocket. His most recent endeavor was laundering funds through private equity. He was making a large profit practically stealing millions of dollars right under people’s noses.

Nevertheless, Tommy just could not stay away from Daisy. He was in love. He had to be with her, to touch her face to kiss her lips. There was no way he was letting a squalid fool like Andy Papowitz stand between him and his one true love.

Tommy began going to the hospital all the time to see Daisy. She found herself intrigued by his charm and soon felt the same love as he. The bond they shared was like nothing either of them had ever felt before with anyone else. They decided that would run away together, and be together forever.

Daisy did not answer the phone when Tommy called from the driveway so he went up to see what was taking so long. The door to Daisy’s apartment was open so he went in and found Daisy lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She has been stabbed to death. Tommy knew right away that Andy Papowitz was responsible. The police soon knew as well when they found Andy Papowitz’s cigarette with his DNA all over it still burning beside the door.

When they went to arrest Andy Papowitz, he was nowhere to be found. All of his belongings remained in his house. They looked for him for a couple of years and then just let it go. Little did they know Andy had kept a secret wall in his basement where he hid all of his money from his private equity scam. Unless someone knew it was there, they would not know to look for it. He had bragged about it to Tommy one night after too much Tequila.

Three days after Andy Papowitz disappeared, an oversized suitcase containing $800,000 was left outside the local hospital with a note that just said In Loving Memory of Miss Daisy Fuqua.
