The guy that asked the question was John D'Urso from Kahuna Capital, he is a very smart, successful distressed and special situations investor. At one point I believe he was MD of Special Situations for Bob Robotti. I have personal knowledge of several situations that he has invested in where he has made 500%+ returns, including some secured real estate transactions.
He's very gregarious as well, kind of like a Peter Cundill.
If anyone has anything interesting to share with him I can put you in touch - just send me a PM.
