Dead Hedge-Funder's Former Aide Claims Widow Fatally Drugged His Pasta

The widow of hedge fund guru Seth Tobias hastened his drowning death by stirring crushed sleeping pills into his pasta sauce, according to a former employee.

That's just one of the explosive claims that ex-Tobias aide Bill Ash made during a lie-detector test.

Ash's high-powered lawyer, Debra Opri, had her client questioned by top polygraph expert Joseph Paolella after lawyers for widow Filomena Tobias assailed Ash's credibility.

Opri tells us that Ash "passed the test with flying colors."

Honestly, did the Huffington Post get its wires crossed with Fox "Business" News? "No Sex for CEO"? "Wife Poisoned Pasta"? "Britney Not Saving" complete with half-clothed picture? This crap qualifies as BUSINESS NEWS? And nothing, at least on the front page, as far as I ever saw, about oil hitting $100/barrel. No wonder the country is going down the tubes.

She should have just shot his dirty dick off. Would have been quicker and more fun.

That's why I want to live alone. married life is pretty scary sometimes. But who'd take care of the pets while I'm at work? I stay for the sake of the "kids." I bring home the cat food.

Good cooks often use a secret ingredient or two in their favorite recipes.

Didn't the coroner do a toxicology test?

With a first name like Filomena, Tobias should have had his head examined before the wedding.

Well, the important things are that the marinara wasn't too soupy, the pasta was al-dente, and the parmesan was freshly grated.

A garnish of sleeping pills is optional, but sedating.

Why do gay men marry women?

For the life of me, honestly, I won't ever understand this brand of cowardice.
