About Jean-Pierre Van Rossem
Jean-Pierre Van Rossem was a Belgian economist, econometrician, activist, author, philosopher, stock-market guru, politician, and member of the Belgian and Flemish Parliaments. In 1991, Van Rossem founded his own libertarian protest party ROSSEM, according to many, to gain political immunity, because of his problems with the Belgian courts. He invested for the very wealthy and accumulated 860 million dollars for himself. Van Rossem became famous as a stock market guru with Moneytron, an investment company that could offer apparently endless returns. Van Rossem sponsored and later became the majority owner of a Formula One team in 1989, Moneytron Onyx, which placed 10th of the 21 teams.
