cap 2 and link to article below this story.
Blackstone Group LP has raised more than $22 billion for its flagship buyout fund – making it the largest in the firm’s history – and it’s not finished raking in cash.
New York-based Blackstone completed the first close for its eighth private equity fund last month, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The firm hasn’t yet set a limit for the pool, which it expects to eclipse Apollo’s record $24.7 billion when it wraps up fundraising later this year, said the people.
Fundraising in the private equity industry has continued to gain momentum this year with Blackstone alone seeking to bring in $100 billion. Apollo Global Management aims to gather $9 billion for a collection of new funds its starting this year, Bloomberg reported this week. Firms raised a record $566 billion in 2017 and another $432 billion last year.

those are so overpriced now. Yet another thing monetized by greed and avarice.
Maniac at the wheel!-in a good way
understand it's the gov't and there are good people here. understand the sentiment though.
there was a time, in here, where that was not the attitude. Exporting bullshit attitudes to other state's-via the 'sell the over-priced' house and run somewhere else tends to sour people on all who live here so I totally understand why and how that is there.

Browder files criminal complaint against Swedbank in Estonia
TALLINN (Reuters) - Estonia’s State Prosecutor has received a criminal complaint against Swedbank brought by investor Bill Browder, and will decide whether to begin an investigation into the money laundering allegations within the next 10 days, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors’ office said on Wednesday.
Swedbank is embroiled in a money-laundering scandal involving Danske Bank, which revealed last year that its Estonian branch had been used to move 230 billion euros ($258 billion) of suspicious payments between 2007 and 2015.
Browder founded Hermitage Capital and was once the biggest foreign money manager in Russia. He has been instrumental in driving authorities to bring cases against Danske Bank.
“At the moment the prosecutor is analyzing the data, and the decision on whether to start an investigation will be made within 10 days,” said the spokeswoman, who declined to comment on the content of the filing.
Earlier this week Sweden’s Economic Crime Authority (EBM) dropped a complaint by Browder saying the limited transfers involving Swedish accounts had occurred before tighter anti-money laundering legislation was introduced in 2014 and as a statute of limitations had expired in the case.
