U.S. hedge-fund manager Andrew Lahde became famous in his business when one of his funds returned an astonishing 866 percent last year, mostly by betting U.S. housing loans would crash.

"All of this behaviour supporting the aristocracy only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America," he wrote.
