Intrade CEO dies on Mount Everest

[Dolemite]

Shouldn't his models have predicted this?

It's going to be different this time.
---------------------------------------


The death rate on Mount Everest has not changed over the years, with about one death for every 10 successful ascents.

I agree

I'm certainly not going to criticize the guy. It's not like he was out shorting blow and drag racing

Good for him...

I just couldn't imagine leaving my expecting wife to go try and climb a mountain.

Personally, I'd go lounge on a beach somewhere or something if I needed to get away.

Not very daring, but I'd get to see my child born.

Maybe the child wasn't even his...

Amazing how everyone judges and makes conclusions about someone else's life and death with incomplete and inaccurate information...

He died doing something that he obviously loved and wanted to do. Good enough!.

Its not like he had to go all the way over there at that particular time, he should have waited till the wife gave birth and he should have been there next to her. It seems as if his own personal ego was more important than the birth of his child, what an egotistical, shameless dumbass.
