Making money off one of his Americas?
But would he have done the same if no one ever found out? From the NY Times;
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who has called homeownership ''the foundation of the American dream,'' said Friday he will divest his holdings in funds linked to lenders that have foreclosed on Hurricane Katrina victims.
''I will not have my family's money involved in these firms that are foreclosing on people in New Orleans,'' he told the Associated Press.
Edwards has reported $29.5 million in assets, millions of which are invested in the hedge fund Fortress Investment Group., a company that paid him nearly half a million dollars last year for consulting advice.
