ZeroHedge – Furious Chinese Demand Money Back As Housing Bubble Pops – 24 March 2014

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or, it seems, like a Chinese real estate speculator who is losing money.

Malaysia Airlines: deeply regret that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that #MH370 was lost and none of those on board survived

We assume this means that the search for the missing plane is now over, even though there is so far no evidence to substantiate the lack of “any reasonable doubt” behind the Malaysia Airlines claim.
