The Ron Paul campaign definately needs to recruit this guy as an advisor or use his network as a mechanism to raise funds. He is a shrewed businessman, he has contributed lots of money to the Libertarian Party (upwards of $100,000.00), and he has good contacts I'm sure.
How do I know he is a Libertarian? Yet not one donation to Ron Paul, I wonder why?

Beal has barely got a dime from the feds. A self-described "libertarian kind of guy," Beal believes the government helped create the credit crisis

Loathes Big Government
He spars with Kaplan about Trump, saying the developer would make a good president simply because he’s not a politician.
Beal’s politics -- he’s a self-declared libertarian -- seem an odd fit for a banker who relies on federal guarantees to attract deposits. He loathes big government and gives money to politicians who vow to dismantle it. Until they do, he plans to avail himself of federal programs to make money just like the next guy.
“I hate big government,” Beal says in an e-mail between a series of interviews granted, he says, only to ensure that the facts about his banks are correct. “I don’t like the government- issued paper currency rules or the laws that require its use. But those are the rules, and I live by them.”
In buying loans, Beal takes heftier risks with FDIC-insured money than do many bankers. Delinquent loans accounted for 21 percent of all loans at Las Vegas-based Beal Bank Nevada, the largest of his three banks, compared with an average of 5 percent for all U.S. banks as of March 31.
lol During the height of the financial bubble his office hours were 10:30 to 2 pm or something like that. My kind of banker. :D
